Hey all
so I’m just a week into MS diagnosis, finished my five day high dose steroids for the horrible feelings of numbness and jelly like sensations in my legs…there hasn’t been a slight improvement in how they are feeling, have had headache for over a week now, can’t stop getting tearful, have cancelled all plans this wkd as just don’t feel myself. Finding it very hard to come to terms with this, any advice? Thanks
Give it time. You have a host of good reasons to be feeling emotionally fragile and tearful just now - high dose steroids not being the least of them (they can amplify emotional ups and downs, I find).
Steroids can also take time to work. Even in individual people they can fix some MS things fast and others much more gradually (that has been my personal experience anyway). The important thing for you to remember that just because they aren’t working fast doesn’t mean that they aren’t working at all.

Thank you Alison, I just want a little bit of me back if that’s at all possible!
