I'm with Sally. Don't wait too long. Call the neuro and see what he has to say. Getting the steroids shortly after the symptoms start is key. If you wait too long they won't be as effective.

If you go to the ER, they may do an MRI to make sure that it is MS that is causing this and not something else such as a stroke. They will also do a neuro exam on you, or at least they should, and that will be documented in your medical record. Get copies of your medical record as that will help you with your SSDI case. The last time I went to the ER for a flare, they did an MRI as well as a neuro exam, which I didn't do well on, and I had a "nice" 3 day hospital stay.

I hope you start feeling better soon. Please let us know how you are doing.
