Hi Issa,
Steroids for 5 days! Yuck! I hope you feel better soon. My neuro put me on a one day, once a month IV pulse for 6 months to settle down my MS when I was having many attacks in a row. Now there are a few trials going on doing the same thing. That may be an option for you if you are not on a therapy. It wasn't too harsh.

After I had my kids I started doing oral Decadron once a month for 5 days until Copaxone kicked in. I was very worried about a postpartum attack but didn't have the time or energy to be hooked up to an IV. That worked really well but was not as strong as the IV.
Take care,
Jean
