I'm in another flare. UGH! It's been six months since my last flare that landed me in the hospital. This time, I'll be doing outpatient steriods as opposed to being admitted. They debated which way to go and decided outpatient, which I am thankful for. I start tomorrow morning. So, this afternoon and evening I will be loading up on fluids and preparing for 3 days of who knows what as I don't always react well to steroids. But, I know I have to do them as I really like to walk. It's kind of important to me.

Praying for you, Tricia. I'm sorry to hear that you're in a flare. I hope the roids treat you good this time.

Ah darn it Trish. Be well soon, please.

Sorry to hear you have another flare. No other wods come to mind except "That sucks!"

I hope the round of steroids does the trick (I like walking too) and that it is smooth sailing for you!

Tkrik....

I am so sorry for what you are going through, and pray that it is short lived, and you are back to feeling okay.

Can you explain your relaspe? I have been dx for 3 years now (RRMS); it has been a steady decline for me in most all areas. I will have a few good days, but in general things just keeping getting worse. My most recent decline is that my bladder (neurogenic) is not working correctly....and now I am cathing 3-4 times a day.

BUT, when someone asks me, or I take a survey, and the question is always....How many relaspes have you had in the last year? I never know how to answer that question. I DO NOT know!

I know the textbook answer, any new or worsening symptom lasting more than 24 hours with a month between.

Does anyone know or understand what I am saying?

Well, nuts ... another case of bad things happening to such a nice person.

Please get better -- we miss your sweet spirit around here to lighten things up.
