Why were steroids not an option?? (I remember my eye doctor saying something about a CN VI palsy the other day)

I feel sick this morning. The double vision changed again overnight. It's making the vertigo a lot worse.

It is horrible and earned me my dx also, sigh. I cut out and taped a piece of black paper the size of one lens to my glasses and that was much better for me than the patch.

I did maybe a 5 day taper pack of oral methylprednisolone and whether or not it helped I don't know but within a week I was in much better shape and I'd say in a couple of weeks back to almost normal, knock wood.

Hang in there.

Aww Erin (((HUGS))) to you :hug: I can completely sympathize with what you are going through. I hope you feel better soon. The eye patch was irritating, but better than going without it for me. I had the luxury of just going to bed. :hug:

I'm sitting in bed right now. Havent ventured away from it this morning except to use the potty. I may just go back to bed...get caught up on my sleep bankruptcy that the insomnia had been building.

I just dont like having vertigo from this, I really really really hate the spinnies. I usually dont get super nauseous, but this is starting to make me queasy.

I really really hope that my 3 days of IV steroids is going to stop this and make me mostly normal again. (not sure I was ever normal before all this MS crap started) I have to go tell my boyfriend that I dont know if I'm going shopping with him tomorrow. Hopefully he understands if I dont. I just dont know if I'm up to walking around a big store with lots of people.
