What a difference 24 hrs and IV steroids can make.

[Juliew19673]

I'm happy to report my body is alive and working again! I get my last of 3 infusions tomorrow. I have no neuropathy and complete body/mind energy. My balance is still a little off, but manageable and think with some P/T I can get that under control. Thanks everyone for your insight - means the world to me.

Good to hear your on the mend.Had similar problems when first diagnosed.Numbness,pins&!needles in feet moving up my legs,balance issues&!coordanation.Kept knocking over things,very furstrating.After the steroid infusion things slowly started to get back to some normality.Vision was also affected.I didn’t think the numbness would ever go away but luckily it has.I’m a postman & drive& walk and think my fitness helped.Beautiful weather here in Ireland 30degrees,not used to it.Somedays can be very tiring,napping in chair.Very grateful to be able to work.Hope your symtoms abate&are manageable.Regards Eugene.

I’m thrilled for you! I know it doesn’t always happen that way, but sometimes the improvement with steroids is dramatic.

Thanks for letting us know about your improvement! That’s exciting!

I totally understand. I had 3 days of iv steroids in April and they brought me back to life.

I’ve felt pretty good ever since. They are miracle working for sure.

So happy it has worked for yours as well.

[Doubled51 in reply to Juliew19673]

It took 2 rounds. 1 in March then another in April but thank God the second one worked great.

That's just what I think I'll need, I was wondering as to how long in between I would have to wait. Legs are getting tingly today.

[Doubled51 in reply to Juliew19673]

I think it’s pretty much up to your dr. I I’m thinking mine were about 6 weeks. Sometimes it takes a while to get the full effects but everybody’s different. Some right away and some take a while.
