"I am 63 and have had MS since 1992. Started with numbness from neck down for 2 years... then optic neuritis in '97, where I first discovered methylprednisolone and how it saved my eyesight. After that, tried interferon (paid $18,000 per year) nope... Failed... I have been through numerous relapses from dizziness, confusion (the worst if you ask me), optic neuritis twice, astigmatism 6 months... I couldn’t walk more than a few times (and I know I have it easy compared to some), but there are only 2 things I feel that have helped me... One is diet (Dr. Gregor) and the other is methylprednisolone... There is soooo much more to this story... Especially my screw-ups... If I just got this disease and knew what I have learned, I would read or watch Dr. Gregor's info on Dr. Swank's 5-7 minute video... and use methylprednisolone only when I really had to... It’s not perfect but will help you while you do the research and figure this out... Here is wishing you the best..."

Methylprednisolone "A very effective drug for stopping MS relapses. I have had about 7 courses of treatment (over approximately 20 years) consisting of infusion of 1 gram per day of Solu-Medrol for 3 consecutive days. Pretty brutal side effects: immediate metallic taste in mouth after commencing infusion; persistent agitation or feeling wired; difficulty sleeping; spikes blood sugar. All side effects disappear shortly after the conclusion of infusion therapy."

Methylprednisolone "Took through IV 1000 mg for 3 days. I am so sick. I ache, my chest hurts, the side effects are terrible, they're worse than the MS flare-up. I would never take this again."
