Steroids helped, but I really think that the symptoms were beginning to go away on their own by then (about a week after first sx).

It was several months before I got my full strength and energy back.

Not sure if I actually have MS, but the flare about 6 years ago was very MS-like. I hope you are able to get some answers. Best wishes and feel free to post anywhere and anytime. Lots of good folks around here.


Ooops! Sorry KittyLady! I got lost in the posts and didn't realize you began the thread. Sorry about your vibrations. Stuff like that is really unnerving. Hope it goes away soon.

Oh, and excellent analogy to help your husband understand better! *applause*
