I am starting my first 3 day course of steroids tomorrow and wondering what to expect?
I have not been right since the break in my refills for my Ampyra and though better I'm still sliding my feet rather than picking them up. I now have a fabulous squeezing with severe left side pain around my ribs which upon examining my neuro noticed had a significant lump under them. Went to my GP who ordered x-rays that showed a sizable mass under my left ribs and am getting referred for a CT. Meanwhile the pain has been intolerable and now includes a squeezing of my pelvis and as of this morning blind spots in my vision on the left side. Hope the steroids help with all this tightness and pain and that the CT doesn't amount to much.

Feeling a bit strange after the first infusion. My vision seems extra crisp, all the colors seem more dramatic and sharper.
Extra shakey/spaszy but that's to be expected. Tried my first Gabapentin last night, slept great!! Has worn off and starting to feel all the stinging pain again. I'll keep you posted how the next few days go. The worst part so far is that I have the strangest taste in my mouth, it's making everything bitter. The nurse said it was normal and not sure how long it will take to go away.

Glad there has been some help so far! Yes that taste is awful! For me it lasted a couple hours and the only way I could get rid of it was to suck on a Halls menthol cough drops, several right in a row until it wore off. Hope everything turns out good for you! Lots of  while you're waiting.
