Default Can anyone lead me to an article about IVSM with no taper
I've not had that many episodes that I needed IVSM but I have always had a Prednisone taper. With this episode of ON I did not. So on this first day since the IVSM is over I just feel so blah, no energy. Coyuld some one lead me to an article of benefit of no taper VS taper

I have never had a taper. I too would like to see the research. I have always been unplugged and sent home.

I always had a taper, but I knew that some Docs were eliminating it, as unnecessary. I have no idea why or what made them come to that conclusion. Ask your Doc!

EDIT...I found this:

I have only had IVSM one time for five straight days. I hope to never have it again. I also did not do an oral taper. It seems that most neuros that are up to date with the research are not prescribing a taper anymore.

I've had IVSM twice. Once without a taper (the first time) and once with a taper.

Having a taper made the crash from the steroids a heck of a lot easier to deal with. I got really sick the first time I had IVSM when the crash hit. (barfing sick)

I was still really tired and crashing a bit with the taper, but it was easier to deal with. Didnt get sick those first few days after I finished the IVSM. The second time I had IVSM, I pretty much begged for the taper.
