HI Everyone

I was diagnosed with rrms in August 2011. I have been taking Avonex for two years. Up til now i have been pretty ok. Just the usually fatigue pins and needles etc. Two weeks ago my pins and needles in my feet got really bad and i have ended up with numbness up til my waist. Called MS nurse they prescribed steriods dexamethasone which i started taking 6 for two days, 5 for two etc. Finished them yesterday i a feel no difference whatsoever. I was wondering how long it should take for some of the numbness etc to disapper. Getting pretty fed up.

I havent seen my neurologist in two years and because of this recent relapse i have appointment on the 31st March. Not really looking forward to it.
