    Hang in there man. Not fun.
    I have a lesion in my spinal cord and have been on and off an MS diagnosis. Still not sure. Spinal Taps are inconclusive. Left side is slow and numb sometimes.
    Good thoughts for a quick recovery.

    Sorry to hear that. Having a conclusive diagnosis can help. MS is inconclusive enough even with a diagnosis. Thanks for the good thoughts!
    For sure man.
    One thing I do know is the MS Community cares a lot. I have no issue helping when asked. Whe have 4 employees with it at work and a relapse is a call to help each other.
    I hope you bounce out of the hospital soon. Those steroids give me a short fuse. Hopefully your chilling with some tunes.

    Ya, well, it’s been a long time since I’ve taken steroids and the last time I did there were drastic mood swings; high highs and low lows. It was like being bipolar. Not a good time. The end result is important and making gains would be nice!

    Remember, your condition requires frequent sponge baths.

    The not sleeping is what I hated and then you crash.
    I had a friend sent home with his IV.
    He couldn’t sleep 2 days into it. So he got up in the middle of the night and tried to finish a tile job. He crashed at the end of his therapy hard. Not smart on his part.

    Hope it works quick. Good thoughts it’s a full recovery of your symptoms.
    Stay positive man.

    Thanks man. I always ask for sleep meds when I go on this stufff. Being all amped up is no fun when you’ve got nowhere to go and nothing to do.

    Nowhere near your level but I have had steroids both for my infusions and also via pill for years.

    It throws my sleep schedule off that week bad and I’m like the hulk lol...

    Just don't get caught Bashin' the Bishop.
    At least plan it before the aforementioned sponge baths. And then act like you need help.

    Halo. Do you get the infusions? One of my friends said it its been helping him but, they have him on every 6 months. By month 5, he couldn't move. I guess its still experimental.

    It's either that or I'm gonna drop a jump lead off one phase and hook the other end to his arse. That should do the trick.

    I’ve been getting a monthly infusion of a drug called Tysabri for a while now. It definitely was helping until I missed two doses in a row due to the move. There are a lot of different medications out there to treat MS these days and that’s a really good thing!
