Ok here's the deal. I've felt horrible for weeks now. Neuro did lab work yesterday; UTI. I'm on an antibiotic now. I am weak and my skin hurts to the touch. Muscles ache all over. Temperature of 99.3 oral. Now coughing up thick yellow sputum. Do I need to go to the ED and get dosed with steroids or just let the infection run its course? I take Aubagio which suppresses my immune system so I'm worried I may be in for a bad trip.

Can you have a relapse without new lesions? Does a person have a lot of pain when they relapse?

No I'm not. Peeing very little amount and frequent urination. ER Doctor said my UA was clear. Funny because the day before my neuro put me on antibiotics for a UTI.
I am so weak and tired.

Yes that's true about Aubagio. I spent the night in the ER. My poor husband had been awake for 24 hours by the time we got home. My labs were all normal at the ER. The doctor said he doesn't know what's wrong because my labs are normal. Really? Really? I have MS dude. I was in excruciating pain by the time we got there. They gave me a liter of fluid and I only peed 100cc and had 120 post void residual. Gave me some iv Tylenol and iv morphine and told me to call my neuro Monday. Said maybe I have a virus. Omg. I have MS...give me some steroids please for the love of God.
