Thinking of going back to the ER .
My spasticity had gotten so bad, I've never been this bad before. Now its my complete leg and now into my back. I can barely lift my leg to walk. Have to go into work tonight.. don't how i'm going to do that. My last flare I was given 5days IV steroids, what do they usually do for another flare? Do you think I will get steroids again? This flare is not going away. My hands have also turned blue all the way up to my wrists and i'm not cold. |

Did they increase the dose? I know, it is hard to deal w the drowsiness if you have to work.
I'm going to go back and re-read your last situation. Sorry I have no answers. Ahh, I see it was just 20 mg a day. That is often not enough. I'm used to a starting dose being 10mg three times a day. It does take a little while to start working. I hope you get some help. No need to suffer. ANN Last edited by ANNagain; 12-16-2013 at 06:44 PM. |

I'm calling my DR. to see what she wants me to do.. the spasms are unreal... really have trouble lifting my leg.. I can walk but it takes a lot of effort. My hands are blue on and off.. it's funny they're not cold or anything.. just blue up to my wrists.. then it goes away I also have to work 4-10 on Friday, its a sales job in cosmetics.. a fair amount of walking... I need my cane all the time now. |
