I was blinded in one eye from optic neuritis and went for 3 days outpatient for steroid treatments, it helped and my eye sight came back, and not painful.
best to stay away from steroids they will only give you diabetes in your future or make it worst if you have it. Look into researching your sugar/fungus relationship to give your body a chance to heal. This is a big subject to deal with. Do we have time to turn our life around for our good?
do it at home
@MaryBethWaters yes, I have had IV Solumedrol treatments many times. They help to shorten a relapse. Refer to the question posted by Szurlinski above.
@MaryBethWaters Hi, I usually have a nurse come to my house and inject a stent (i think that what its called). Each day, I insert the steriods directly into my arm (it's shaped like a ball filled with solu-medrol. Takes about one hour. Afterward I cover my arm so no one can see it. Next day I do the same thing until all the pouches of steriods are done. Last day, I remove everything from my arm.
