While steroids used long term can have side effects, short term their beneficial. Dont freak at a sudden loss of mobility, its probly just inflamation. Steroids reduce inflammation and if you r rrms you should regain mobility. If u have a neuro that wont give u a steroid boost, shitcan him. ✌

Hi, sorry your going thru so many problems with that med. Honestly I've never heard of it b4, or I have & just didn't know the name. I can just tell you what I started with when the MS bomb showed itself in my first & bad exasperation. They started me on copaxone for the 1st 4years, then I thank God I decieded to switched to Techfidera. It has helped me tremendously and even want to make a youtube video about it as that was 1 way I researched it b4 I switched meds as I was naturally nervous to do it at first. Hope you get to a better medicine. I wish you wellness
