Your neuro's nurse should be able to arrange for home infusion. I only ever had one infusion done outpatient at the hospital. All the rest were at home with a visiting nurse.
I also want to relay my own personal experience with IVSM. They didn't give it to me right away when the sx first began. The sx just kept getting worse and worse (over the course of a couple of months) to the point where I could hardly walk with a cane. At that point, I finally got steroids.
I had some pretty dramatic improvement within a week or so after the IVSM. The first thing I noticed was that I could very suddenly think again. It was amazing. Then, other things started improving. They ordered PT along with the IVSM and that seemed to really make a difference. In fact, my PT said that he likes to work with MS patients in a flare while they are doing the IVSM or shortly after for the most benefit.
