Erin, if you dont handle solumedrol well, maybe ask for Athcar gel. I dont handle solumedrol well at all and refused to take it again and my neuro said we could try Athcar gel instead. He said the side effects are not as severe as the solumedrol but the effectiveness is the same. I get extremely violent on steroids so I have to stay clear of them. I have not tried the gel yet, but I was given that as an option.

Here's a former thread about Acthar.........http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...ght=Acthar+Gel

Guess what?

My regular doctor rocks!!

I didn't think I'd be able to get the ivsm before Monday, well I'm sitting here posting on my iPad in the infusion center. Little less than half the first bag left. Whoohoo!

When regular doc couldnt get the usual place set up for me before Tuesday, he tried a different one...that seems to be open whenever someone needs something infused. I got here at 430 and was hooked up by 5. Yay!

Nasty taste in my mouth and I'm starving to death. The nusrse was just eating a venison burrito (he wouldn't share!) so I can't wait till this is done so I can go find food. Not sure what to eat. Don't want to eat a bunch of salt.

Hope this works!!
