Default Now I'm going to get IV steroids

Went to the neurologist this morning. He took a couple looks at me and said yeah you need steroids. So he and my regular doctor got together and I'm getting I VSM Tomorrow.

I'm getting four days worth. That's more than they've ever given me for optic neuritis. So this must be the flare from hell. (Pretty much all my flares are "Flares from hell')

It better help. I just don't want to be stuck with my hands like this .

really hope that This won't be permanent. If it does turn out to be permanent my Dad will have A lot more room in the basement because I'll be getting rid of all my yarn. Maybe I'll sell my car to my dad and then he can sell my car and his car and get a new car. (And when I say sell my car to my dad, that doesn't necessarily mean that any money is going to be coming my way. I probably just let him take it even though my names on title)

I'm wondering why I'm hungry but not hungry. I'm starving but the thought of food is just not appealing to me. I don't get it, I had some toast today that's it. I'm hungry I just don't feel like eating

I'm hungry right now finally decided on something to eat. I wanted ice cream my throat hurts. My dad got down to the place to get the ice cream and they were closed. They were working on the building.

I love food from my favorite Greek restaurant but they're closed too. They're finally doing some very much needed updates to their building (Handicapped restrooms)

I'm also scared to eat anything. you might see another thread in the forum that relates to that fear.

At least I'll probably lose weight. Probably not the right way to lose weight but I'm probably going to lose weight.

Hey Erin,

If you are going to have steroids the IV seems to me to be the way to go. I hope they help you.

Yes, I understand being hungry and not wanting anything. Too tired to eat today.
