the steroids dont work immediately.

When I did oral steroids back in 2007, I didnt notice improvement until a week after I finished the oral pred. (had the oral pred because I had bad vertigo that kept sneaking up on me and knocking me to the floor)

I had IVSM last summer for double vision, that didnt help immediately either...took several weeks to notice improvement.

Also had oral pred last fall that did nothing, and IVSM and an oral pred taper earlier this May for near full body numbness, problems with moving my right side, vertigo and the worst spasticity that I've ever had. I'm still numb, still get the dizzies, but the spasticity has improved. I dont know if the 'roids I took for that helped or not, since I still dont feel good. Only thing that got better was the spasticity. I'm not popping baclofen like Tic-Tacs anymore. (at least not this week...the spasticity comes and goes)
