So, does that sound right, that if the oral pred doesn't work it's most likely not MS??
Hello, Freesia.

My neuro always has me take off my socks. Even when I went to a different neuro my socks came off.

The of oral prednisone you were taking was a very small amount and if you have MS would possibly not be enough. Most with MS have a very high dose of steroids by IV.

I used oral prednisone years ago. I am not positive but I believe my dosage was somewhere around 40 or 60 mg.

My daughter has used oral prednisone for her asthma and the dosage was 10 mg.

Steroids are anti-inflammatory. Steroids working or not does not indicate MS.
