Light sensitivity

[MdMaggie]

I just finished my first SoluMedrol IV bag.  The lights are so bright!  Has anyone else experienced this?

A second opinion is always a good idea. Especially when you don’t have high confidence in the first one. Your symptoms are caused by something, and a neurologist should cause you to trust his explanations.

Get copies of you MRI, etc and maye your neurologist’s records and find a second Neurologist. If the first Neurologist is unpleasant about your records request, definitely get a second opinion.

If you do have MS, you want to get on Disease Modifying Treatment as soon as possible. I went 10 years between Neurologist who missed the diagnosis. I was much worse by the time I saw the second one and was correctly diagnosed.

Good luck.

Adding on a welcome to you too!

I was dx'd with MS last year, but have not been on the solumedrol for a flare.  I hope those who have will come to your rescue with some info on those bright lights.

My only experience was with 1 dose of the stuff, and follow up with prednisone (it was for an allergic reaction) and with how it makes you feel, I can't imagine a whole bag of the stuff.

Is it working for your flare? Have you mentioned the light sensitivity to your Dr at all?

Hope you make your way back to us and like Doni says, we look forward to getting to know you a bit better.

See you around,
Shelly

Hi Maggie, and welcome to the forum, we're all glad you found us!!  This is a great place with exceptional people, I think you will love it here.

I haven't had the SoluMedrol, so I can't give you an answer to your question.  Many on here have, and I'm sure someone will be on to answer your question.

Can you do a new post and tell us about yourself?  We always like to get to know our new members and what's been going on with them to bring them here.  Are you dx with MS?

I look forward to getting to know you, Maggie, and again, welcome.
