I had Kenalog steoid about 4 or 5 days after my leg jerks worsened due to the smoke from fires here. It helped right away. I have had it twice and it is miraculous for me. I didn't know I could take any steroids because I have Porphyria, but there is one that porphs take, and it is Kenalog. I can't take it more than 4 times a year. I am sure hoping we don't get more smoke but the Colorado fires north of us are very bad. If the wind sends that here,
I will need help again, too soon for another shot. I was awake all night with the leg jerks and also had spastic movements in my eyes (I call them spastic, I don't know what the doctor calls them--I don't see a neurologist about these things, only my good pcp. She is often gone in the summer, though.
