@A MyMSTeam Member that taper is so your body don't crash or go into shock. I've had high dose steriod without the taper and believe me it's not something you want to do.

Update: Oct 6th, 7th, 8th 1000 mg iv solumedrol... Gave myself the last dosage because RN didn't show up.. 5 days insomnia.. Right foot and leg stopped being numb the 3 or 4th day.. Did a oral prednisone taper for 7 more days.. Today is Oct 17th.. No prednisone since Monday... Beginning to get better daily... Not much weight gain if any and not super hungry.. But it did cause excessive sweating... I took a lot of potassium, magnesium, and vitamins...and a lot of water...
update Oct 21st...im almost feeling like my pre flare self😊

I got sick of taking endless MS., drug's, etc., in fact I haven't been on any MS., drug's in literally years using instead my own Diet&Exercise regimen and I am still 95% Ambulatory in 2017.

Did the job for me big time during a really annoying Relapse that just went on and on. Watch your mood on the High Dose steroids, personally turned into a nasty so and so on them.

Debbiegu3,, I was diagnosed by a neurologist from my MRI and showing my spinal lesions.. Also from my ongoing symptoms.. she indicated I should have been on ms meds years ago!! I just recently started the cbd oil and along with the Gabapentin and prednisone I am doing much better.. You can get a lot of info online about cbd uses and related to other diseases not just MS.., I so appreciate your caring but know I am being taken care of,, just make sure you are!! It sounds like you have a tough road with your cysts along with ms... Dont let them slow down your health care, make them stay on the ball!! Chat with you later!!
