Thanks Tracey and yes not good being a hairdresser with a dodgy eye lol! I see you like to make cakes as do I but like eating them more ! I deserve to be fat bit so far stress keeps me thin lol! Emma
Wow! It 25 in a mo. really need to sleep, well , i was & hubby woke me up to eat some thing he cooked, well, he warmed up lol . Good night all xx
Morning Emma, I started them on Wednesday and started to see signs of an improvement yesterday. I’m on 500mg daily and on the last day today. I had a mad cleaning spree yesterday too 
My other half has told me I look much better than earlier in the week - always a good sign!! Just waiting to start Rebif now- got the kit just waiting for the rebif nurse to come and see me. …all the MS nurses in my area seem to be on leave at te moment …so got to wait til the 2nd week in September but hopefully with the steroids I’ve been taking this week this will help. Emma keep me posted would like to know how your getting on. L x
Morning Lucie help that’s a high dose! They did they were reducing mine after my last problem do u have to swallow 5 of them!!!..I will def let u know will send u a pm so u get it on day 3 now about to swallow them then going off to work I live nr Gretna so do bridal hair and Sundays are quite busy for me!..didn’t sleep too good tho last night so hope I’m ok for today how did you sleep while on them?.. Emma x
I have always had 500mg a day and before taking they always do a urine test yo rule out kidney infection too. I used to do all five in the morning. It did work though okay last dose didn’t get rid if daft leg leg totally but certainly better than what it was which is good news. Hope thry start working soon hun xxxx
The prescription just says 500mg per day so I have been taking 1 x 5 times per day…staggered though… When I spoke to the Doctor she said to make sure if you have one last thing at night to eat or you won’t sleep. I know you’ve been taking them all in the morning for work so thats probably why your bouncing… maybe check with your MS nurse for advice. I’m quite new to this too… Good luck for the day xx
Oh dear… I’ve had a bit if a disastrous start then…, I’ve finished the course now and starting the rebif at some point this week x
Hi Emma
I do like eating cakes too! My 19 year old son also liked baking cakes but neither of us like making dinner lol! We have quick, easy meals - roast dinners, rubbish from the freezer and a few takeaways or ready meals when I’m worn out! We didn’t work that out well between us, did we? I should probably be fat too as I eat far too much rubbish but whenever I relapse I lose weight and it’s a battle to put it back on. One day, it will all catch up with me and I’ll balloon … !!!
Hope you’re feeling a bit better now. Have the steroids worked their magic yet?
Tracey x
Hi Tracey yeh I too seem to lose a bit while relapsing!..my eye no better as yet but not so sore so here’s hoping!..last day of steroids tomorrow thank god! I’ve been all productive today made a chicken pie and a delicious fresh cream strawberry cake ( I’ve posted the pics on FB to make everyone drool) it was very nice even if I say so myself lol! Had to share with the kids tho but only had a small piece saving some for later!..take care Emma ps will send you a piece of cake x
Oooh, Emma, that sounds like a lovely tea, especially the cake. I’ve gone all healthy tonight - chicken kebabs and rice with salad.
I post my best cakes on FB too but not the failures lol.
Will keep my fingers crossed for your eye.

Take it easy tomorrow Emma, I was like a zombie after my 5 days of mega dose steroids… on days 6, I was so frazzled that I walked into a door frame, really hard, so hard that I split my eyebrow, that was not too sexy! 
Look after yourself honey
Sonia x
OMG! That’s not good I’m feeling ok just hoping get no after effects as last time ended up in hospital with kidney infection…took a few days off but end up agreeing to do clients hair when I shud really say no!..and plus doing weddings thurs fri and sat need to do a bit less work when self employed its all a bit hit and miss you never know when work comes along!.. The joy of self employment ! Not…no sick pay or holiday pay but nobody to answer to either!..and thanks Emma x
Emma, I’m sure you’ll be fine hun, just take it easy Don’t forget, you’re on a lower dose too x
Hope so! Have you recovered from your curry yet? x noticed before we’re the same age there seems to be quite a few people on here diagnosed in their forties always thought it affected younger people than that but my neuro says it was good I’m older dont know wot he meant by that cheeky!! x
Coo, that is cheeky! lol
I think there is quite a few of us in our 40s but loads on their late teens and that does make me so sad 
Actually, considered the unexpected heat of it, we’re both vegging on the sofa as we ate a lot! It’s a lovely curry house, it really is, the manager snuck me a handful of chocolates when we were leaving
