Hi there

I started with ON, and I didn't have any 'roids at all - it tool a long time to get over and I still have residual damage eleven years later. I had no idea what was going on and had not even thought of MS.

If it happened again, I would be hightailing it to the doctor/neuro/ER - your vision is something you don't want to mess around with. I don't think the steroids actually improve the final outcome of the attack, but if it helps to shorten the time frame....

Of course, if you have had lots of steroids, that is something else to consider. They can cause all sorts of problems with bone density and other nasties too if you have too many.

Tough call, but hugs and I hope things get better for you soon
