I just finished a 5 day dose of prednisone (1250 mg x 5 days). As expected, I feel terrible now! My symptoms leveled of while on it, but now every symptoms is back with more intensity. Rebound effect? How much longer before I get back to "normal"? Please share your experience!

For all my readings and research I've done on MS Ifeel like a dolt. I just finished 3 days of IV Solu Medrol and feel like a truck hit me....I am exhausted. Can someone explain what the rebound effect is, since that must be what I am going through. I always thought that the steroids gave you tons of excess energy!

I just finished five days of IVSM...with no taper. Steroids usually fix my symptoms immediately, but it can take a few weeks. And yes, Steroids do pump your energy levels up, but once you come off...you can be very tired. I am experiencing that right now. You have to remember you had 1000 mgs of steroids pumped through your veins each day...that is hard on the body.
Rest, and you will feel right as rain soon. I took a three hour nap this afternoon. And a 9:00 Bedtime is sounding pretty fine to me right now.Katie
