try to keep your sodium intake to under 2500 mg while on IVSM...once you are back on your feet, you might consider medical cannabis for some of your sxs.

I'm glad you were in the hospital for your IVSM so they can keep an eye on your blood sugar. I hope that you start seeing some improvements soon.

Just reading that made me feel pain.

You were DXed only three years ago and you have gone downhill this much? MS is friggin stupid.

It's been about a year and a half for me, but I feel fine as of now. My biggest fear right now is the possibility MS will just go all to hell in me and next year possibly....I would become very disabled from it.

I hate the unpredictibility

Hang in there, bro...

You make me love my family all the more. Thank you. I wish you luck. Is there a local MS society that can hook you up with any resources.

update:
i have been in rehab center for the last 9 days, and i am a little stronger.
currently done with the steroids, i had some oral steroids in the last week but no more currently scheduled

was hoping to get released soon but they are keeping me as long as they can, scheduled for a june 12 release. i will be going to my sisters home while we try to get a room in low income disabled housing, and will be taking my nephews room, so i am ok with spending the extra time in rehab. i guess...

still trying to get my avonex script started, some communication issues with my neuro doc and msactive source

thx for the advice and well wishes it really helps to communicate with people who know what its like

Clark, that's a long time in rehab, but if you're ok with it, it's all
good. It looks like they want to keep you until your insurance
runs out. Some insurance only allows so many rehab days
per year, so be careful, as you may need it again before the
year is out.

So glad your Sis is there for you. Let us know how it goes
for you.

Exclamation

The latest Is I am not really recovering from my phys therapy and my neuro ordered me back to hospital for more Iv steroids. I am In a quandary though; if I leave the nursing home/ rehab center I may not be able to come back. I only got in because my neice works there. Also I'm not convinced the steroids really helped me at all. I could use some advice/ guidance please

Why can't you get the IVSM in the nursing home/rehab center? People get them at home all the time.
