Good Morning! Was having very blurry vision, went to the doctor yesterday and he confirmed I am having a flare up and have Optic Neuritis. He prescribed Solumedrol (IV Steroids), 1000mg a day for three days then nine days of Prednisone to wean me off. I had the Solumedrol 8 years ago and the only thing Ican really remember is wide awake and hungry all the time while on it, I also remember the mood swings and horrible pain a few days after I was done, he didn't prescribe anything to taper the steroids down so I just basically crashed and went through horrible withdraw. Will the Prednisone help me with coming off not to have such severe side effects and while on the Solumedrol will I be able to do normal activities like go to work? Also will it help improve my vision quickly?
Sorry about all the questions, I am so scared and never had a flare up this bad. Please, any advice would be so greatly appriciated.
