Day 3. Went fine. I guess the Solu Medrol doesn't so much taste like pennies (as I recall) but it has a nasty taste. I realized after my coffee was gone how gross the drip tastes!
I was so excited to be at day 3.... yay they'll take the port out for a night and put a new one for the last 2 days! Wrong! They said I have great 'return' through the current vein (after flushing the line) and they're trying to see if I can go through the full 5 days with only the 1 port. Sigh....
Can you guess who will be washing their hair with 1 hand tonight? :\
I'm noticing a flaring up of other MS symptoms that had been dormant for quite a long time. I am guessing this is my disease and body's initial kick back punch. I feel worse now than when I originally started the steroids! I'm wearing my sunglasses indoors (tried an eye patch - wasn't good) which helps a bit, but lucky me, my trigeminal nerve's flared to heck and the arm of the sunglasses pinches my head in a spot that's in pain/sensitive. I can't win!
Least the sunglasses cut the brightness down significantly on the PC. With that said, I can't look at black on white very long, or the eye worsens/pain increases.
