I've been on oral pred since saturday. I havent noticed any improvement since starting it. Feeling in my left hand and left foot actually seem to be worse.

If the pred was going to work, wouldnt I be noticing something by now?

Sometimes I'll get a sensation that feels like the numbness is lifting, but it doesnt last for more than 5 or 10 minutes and then things are totally numb again. I dont even know if I'm actually feeling the numbness lifting, or if it's a breeze on my arm or just some weird MS sensation going thru my arm. My left foot just feels more weird than it did before I started the steroids. Like more of it is numb than it was on friday. Numbness there hasnt really increased, just seems like more of the foot is affected.

I'm noticing it's a lot more difficult to type with my left hand now. The pinky finger misses a lot of the letters that it's aiming for.

This is starting to irritate me. I want the stupid prednisone to start working.

I called the pharmacist, and she told me it should be working by now. I called my neuro, but he's out of the office this afternoon.

I hope that I dont need to go get IVSM. It's a lot more expensive than a $6 bottle of prednisone.
