My regular doctor just called back, he said he needs to ask my neuro a question or two and then he's going to call me back about where and when I'll be getting the steroids.

If they dont do it in their offices (I just dont think my regular doctor would tie up an exam room for several hours just for a person to get an infusion) I hope they get me into the place I read about that's open on the weekends.

I'm just hoping that the IV steroids dont make me all wacky and make me pee every 2 1/2 minutes like the oral steroids I had a couple of years ago did. That got old really quick. I can also do without the funky infections that I got from being on the oral steroids last time.

edited to add:

Got a call back from my regular doctor. Neuro is making me wait till MONDAY to get my steroids. (grrrr!) He told my regular doctor that he wanted me to wait till monday. Not sure why that is... The order for the steroids is for me to have them monday, tuesday, and wednesday. Not sure if I get the taper after that. Probably do.

They picked a different infusion center. One that's further west of my house, but I think I can probably drive that by myself without a ton of problems. (I'll take a cab if I think I'll have a problem) It's at the hospital that I drove myself to 3yrs ago when I had my very first episode of optic neuritis. I drove there half blind once, I think I can do it again. (I'll be patching my eye first tho) If it's morning, I wont have to drive facing the sun.

I'm just waiting for the infusion center people to call me to tell me what time and where in the building that I go to get my steroids.
