I'm in the midst of a pretty severe flare up so I will be getting a 3 day course of Solumedrol starting tomorrow.
I have managed to avoid IV steroids so far but this flare up is affecting my walking and balance quite severely so I'm going to give them a try. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions of what I can do to make the experience better.....or not as bad.......or really just any words of wisdom from someone who's had an experience with IV steroids. What should I expect?

Dear Kitty, I'm sorry you're dealing with this right now.
No advice from me except to say that I hope you find that it has a positive outcome.  Feel better soon. |

Good luck Kitty.
There should be MSers here to help you. You might search "solumedrol" and see what was posted in the past.

They worked tremendously for me! I had them for 5 days (1g IVSM per day) along with Lemtrada. By day 3 my walking was notably better, by day 5 I needed just a cane (not my walker) and I'm still walking unassisted since about 1 week post-infusions. It could be the Lemtrada working now too at one month post, but it's mostly steroids I think.

3 days should be enough to kick the flare up in the rear without a lot of the other steroid side effects.
You might expect some extra energy but try not to overdo it. Also, your appetite might increase. It has been a long time since I've had the steroids but I'm hoping it will help you get back to normal.
