Finally beating down this Flare!!!!
Yesterday I had my first infusion of Solu Medrol and for most of the day my body felt like it was at war with itself. In the past I felt great after the infusion and then waited for the side affects. Well it was like two speeding frieght trains crashing into each other. One minute I felt the areas of numbness were subsiding and then they came raging back. I had about 3 hours of sleep and this was after taking 4 mg of lunesta.
Well today I had the second infusion and I think the relapse is subsiding. I probably will have very little sleep but I am realizing that this was a really serious relapse. I was getting numbness in new areas and my right leg was getting worse. I think that the damage there is deeper and I will be getting an MRI in January to see if there is progression. My right leg feel more and more like dead wieght. I am going to get a new bicycle soon and start the process of losing wieght and getting my self on the process of fighting this disease again.
I know that the side affects of the IVSM will take time to work through but I am glad that this flare is finally ending.
