Well, I'm still somewhat hanging in there. I finished the 3 day IV infusuin yesterday - with starting the 14 day taper today. While in hospital yesterday, I mentioned I had been feeling like I was coming down with a UTI, so off to the lab for that and waiting to see it that could be part of the problem also. Last time I had the IV, I bounced back and felt great afterwards. This time, I am having such headaches, upset stomach, and very depressed. . I just slept all day today, guess this one might take longer to get over. Has anyone had a flare take longer to bounce back from even after IV? My husband came home today and thought I should be so much better today but I just cant get feeling better yet. I know the neuro said it might take 4-6 weeks bedrest, but guess I just didn't believe her. Has a flare taken long to get over even with IV steriods, or could I just be a slacker so to speak? I just want to feel normal and not sick and tonite all I can do is get emotional, with no chocolate in the house, go figure! Thanks again for your support.
