Default Another ER visit in my future
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.

Miss Haley's Mom - I am sorry that you are having such problems again and so soon. I don't know what the will do.

Remind me- what are you on for spasms/muscle relaxants?

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.

Thanks Sally,

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.
