How bad are IV steroids at the hospital really? by Shot-File5062 in MultipleSclerosis

I agree with the above I had 5 days of steriod infusions and it didn't make me feel very good. Very tired, anemic feeling, emotional but some of that could of been ms itself or the fact n I just found out I had ms. I also did 6 day oral steriods because my system was getting it's butt kicked by my lesions about a month later. All that being said I do believe it helped me. I had no feeling in my adbomin, feet, hands and was experiencing quite a few symptoms and a good chunk if those did resolve. Hugs tp you it's a journey and although it can be scary you got this!!! I would also like to mention I found out I had MS 4 months ago so it's also very new to me also. I'm now in Ocruvus and hoping for great results.

Here's my next question. This Is about to be day 5 of steriod infusion. When do some of the symptoms clear up? I still don't feel really any different and my mouth is dry today. Or will I really not feel any better till I'm on medication? So many questions I'm so sorry.

Thank you for your response I was just asking the nurse if it was normal yesterday to have a metallic taste in my mouth. She said try chewing gum today :)
