Default Home From Hospital . . .

MS decided to rear it's ugly head to me during MS Awareness week. I ended up in the ER on Monday where they gave me some morphine and started IVSM. They kept me in the hospital until my last dose of steroids today, just to make sure my eye got better and I could ambulate better and my bladder settled down.

I just want biotch a second here . . .I hate getting steroids. They make me so sick. I wish I got the hyper feeling that others get but instead I get more fatigued and just plain sick feeling. I know I will see some improvement over the next few days and then an increase of symptoms and then back down to where I need to be. But still, I so wanted to avoid doing steriods but that was not an option this time.

I go back to the neuro in 2 weeks to come up with a new medicine plan. Copaxone is out and I really haven't been on anything for about a couple of years now. Things seem to be progressing so I am not looking in to other options. Any suggestions? LDN is on my list of things to talk to him about. I'm hesitant about the interferons and some of the newer drugs that are out. So, what do some of you take and how do you like it? Pros? Cons?
