So I appear to have had a bad relapse. after a barrage of tests, GP appointments, increases in medication and 3 telephone appointments with my MSNurse team, they have booked me an appointment at the Emergency Relapse Clinic. Not sure what to expect. Anyone got any advice and can tell me to expect?

Never heard of one of those. It sounds like a good idea, though. my guess would be that it’s a fast track route to being examined to see if you need high dose steroids in a hurry. But that’s purely a guess.

I’m nearly a couple of weeks since this started and it has improved slightly. I’m probably too late for the emergency treatment and I suspect as I am improving, albeit slowly, I’ll probably not get anything except advice.

Turns out the Emergency relapse clinic is just an emergency appointment with an available Neurologist. That said, it was probably the best appointment I have ever had with a Neurologist. About 45 mins and we discussed the past, present and future. I feel there are more tests to come, including another MRI but at least I now appear to be on their radar again and not just left to get on with it alone.

Hi,
My GP prescribes Prednisolone for me when Im having a relapse. I normally call my MS nurse who then contacts the GP asking them to prescribe the drug.
Good Luck
