I don't think the 'roids are lasting very long...
 

Sheesh...I'm already having a bit of trouble going up and down the stairs, and my legs hurt during the night, which meant I had to take some zanaflex. I had hoped that the positive effects would last through my Hawaii vacation...now I am worried about what kind of damper it'll put on our activities.
Good thing I'm chubby-I'll float in the ocean, which won't take much energy;) At least that's something I can do!!;)

After I had the IVSM for my eyes last summer, I was disappointed that the only improvement that I had was the vision problem going away within a week or two. I was hoping things would improve a ton and that I would have a nice long remission...

I dont think the IVSM did much for me last year. I think I had more exacerbations this year after doing the steroids than I did in the two years before that. MS sucks.

This sucks Debbie. Do you think the doc would be open to giving you a oral steroid while on vacation? Jim used to take Prednisone I think when IV steroid didn't work as long.

Sorry Debbi, 'roids are very fickle. :mad:

I'm going to try not to feel too sorry for you, since you're going to Hawaii.

Fine, Sal, be that way...oh, yeah, I'm going to be in Hawaii, aren't I?;);)

I hate oral roids...the headache is so much worse that the IV headache I get...I'm sure he'd be open to it, but frankly, I'm not...I'll just have to watch my heat level, and make sure I rest...I do have a tendency to overdo it when I work out there...then the floor drops, as Trish calls it, and the day is ruined.
Thanks for all the advice, and snarky remarks;)...I'll have our small laptop with us, so I'll be able to keep up with all of you crazy peeps!!
