Even when I have done oral steroids, it was never a dose pack. It was 600 mg to 1000 mg per day - more similar in dose to the IVSM. My current neuro says that might be fine for some people with just sensory issues, but prefers the IVSM for me because he feels it is more effective for vision / mobility problems.

What is the diff between being a dose pack and not, just being a high dosage?

I've had dose packs of both prednisone and methylprednisolone (mp is the lower dose of the two) - both way lower than what you've had, but can't recall exactly, just a few mgs.

Thanks.
