Hi all. I am currently waiting to start on DMDs, but I think I am starting with a relapse. I have 2 out of 3 signs of my usual relapse. The third sign is blurred vision but my eye sight in the eye it’s going to affect is non existent anyway!!! Now I tried to call MS nurse but they in clinic till thurs pm, I am seeing ophthalmologist a week tomorrow. I have some steroids in which are what I am usually prescribed when I have an eye “attack”. Should I start to take these? Any advise? Help? I am new to a dx but have had my problems fr years. Thanks Steph
P.S I did haven flu jab yesterday, but have had the pain I get with a relapse for about a week! Thanks steph
My instinct is no, not until you’ve cleared it with a medic.
If I were you, I would phone my GP first thing in the morning and get an emergency appointment. Your GP is your primary care provider: he/she has a responsibility to help you, especially when your nurse is unavailable. If necessary, the GP can contact your neuro to get advice (as can you actually - it’s worth phoning the secretary and asking for help, especially if the GP is less than helpful).
Good luck!
