My MS clinic says that you have 10 days to start IV steroids. once that 10 day window is past, the rate of recovery from a non steroid course is the same as a steroid course, and it isnt worth the risk to your bones...rest and recovery issues other than steroids are employed then. yes I have been put on bed rest, but only a week. it wasnt strict rest, i had potty benefits.

I am sorry you are going through this.
