I've been having a relapse which abruptly got even worse after I started a course of oral steroid this past weekend. I've only taken steroids once before and that 1st time I felt better very quickly. This time I have some very slight improvement but now I'm on my last day.
What is the best course of action here? Would it be to ask for another 5 days of steroids, or just make arrangements to check myself in to the hospital? I'm still walking pretty well, but what is making me reach for answers is a pretty severe migraine/occipital neuralgia kind of thing that is making me unable to see for hours at a time. I don't have a diagnosis on the head pain yet, so I'm not sure what the cause is.
I sent a fax into my neuro explaining what is going on with me, which is what I usually do because no one ever answers the phone there, and am waiting for a call back, but his office assistant says she is out today, so i don't know when he will get it.
