Hello Bernie It has been ages since we have heard from you. What has been going on in your life? You always have such interesting stories to tell and new ideas you say we ought to try. What is the big idea about Solu-Medrol? What kind of positive effects do get from it? Isn't is comparable to a "dose-pack"? How bad is the pain on the fourth day? I figure that it must be worth it.

Diagnosed with TM in 2002, MS in 2008. But I was getting it before the MS diagnosis. Last time I got it was 9/08, due next month. The sick effect goes away completely in a week, then I feel better. Overall, I don't know if it does anything, but it is supposed to reduce inflammation in my spinal cord and nerve myelin, and therefore prevent damage.
