Default Really scared, freaking out - steroids have an adverse effect!? Please help me..

Had 1st round of steroids today - My hands feel a lot worse and now all of a sudden my eyes hurt really bad and are twitching like crazy . I have to be back tomorrow at 9:30am for antoher infusion and im scared if I dont go I am going to mess up the cycle that could potentially be helping me and maybe my eyes just hurt because they are getting better??? (supposedly i failed the VEP test but felt fine) --- Im scared if I keep going tomorrow that the symtoms will get worse and Ill lose my vision like so many with MS - I read about it and the only way that the symptons get worse from steroids is if its not MS and actually a bacterial inferction and the bacteria manifests on the steroids which make it worse. Im freaking out - I called the hospital and they said that I have to talk to the neurologist who wont be in until after my steroid infusion appointment --- any advice???? (sorry for typos - hands are real bad!) and THANK YOU SO MUCH.
