Hi:
I was just diagnosed with ms (10 days ago), after a flare up that involved numb feet/legs, and walking/balance difficulties. I was hospitalized and given 5 days off 1000mg prednisone. Thus helped alot, improved walking greatly etc. Here is a little background before I ask my question. This past Wednesday I was doing great. Walking almost perfectly etc. Thursday I was a little worse, friday a little worse, and Saturday I was awful. Really having alot of walking problems etc. The following day (yesterday), I was much better, but still not nearly as good as I had been on Wednesday. Today I am a little worse than yesterday, but not terrible.
Now, here's my question. Is this normal? Do things get better, then maybe worse, better etc? It's it okay for a little worsening while on the road to improvement? I don't want to call my doctor with every single concern, but I also don't want to not mention something that may be important. I Ann so new to this, I am scared, and confused. I figured people here would know, and understand my concerns. Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks so much!
