Been on The Tecfidera for almost 5 mos. now. Had a relapse 4 wks ago and put on 3 day course of IV steroid. Was on 2 treatment was I was in auto accident. Completed steroid treatment and started taper of prednisone. On that for a week when all of a sudden could not walk and had horrible eye and head pain. Saw neuro and she suggested I switch to dexamathasone.
Ended up in ER due to adverse reaction from dex. Now, I have been off for 3 days completely and I'm still having walking issues and head and eye pain.
Does anyone know how long it takes for the steroid to rid the body? I just don't know if I'm still in flare and need to contact neuro or if I just need to be patient.
Any suggestions?
