Ask and ye shall receive! ... Wish I had better news, but this has been deemed a 'flare up' by the GP, and she's trying to get in contact now with my neurologist to get the IVSM going (thankfully, right away she mentioned IVSM is the best course for O.N. I was all ready to argue against prednisone to treat it).

Solumedrol is covered by Medicare in Canada, thankfully. So I'll just take my gum along with me back to the city hospital based on when/how they schedule me to start infusions.

Last IVSM was May 2008... overall, I think I've done pretty well avoiding the 'lapses.

By the way... the eye is progressively worsening today, so I'm glad I went in. Now it's feeling dry and itchy almost... even when closed. Plus my regular left side pain is flared up big time, noted swallowing feeling 'odd', etc.

Blah!!!
