Your primary is ok to speak to if that is your only doctor but a neurologist is best to speak to about this. If it is a severe flare , 1000 mg of solumedrol for 3 or 5 days through I.V is usually given. You would have to take a large quantity of pills to be equivalent. I hope you feel better soon! If you feel like it isn’t helping , go to the ER.
Thank you! How do you handle the steroid headaches and inability to sleep? Plus the increase in BP?
Yes I have found that it works. Sometimes i need double the mg of prednisone. I have and recommend the solumedral (sp). I V drip. I have been receiving it ( I V infusions since 1997. I have found that I V solumedral works better than prednisone. I'm here for you to talk to. Good luck Tricia Collier

My primary put me on Presnisone but my blood pressure has spiked to 150/86 and severe headaches. Day 1 - doing a 7 day taper via my primary. Help please.
Great question! For severe MS flares, corticosteroids like high-dose IV methylprednisolone (a steroid similar to prednisone) are typically the go-to treatment. They work by reducing inflammation and can help speed up recovery.
