- Optic neuritis (inflammation of optic nerve)
- Advice/Tips
- The treatment is working! Hang in there, my side effects have changed daily, but just keep to the course. The negatives have been outweighed by the energy I have been feeling. I have really actually enjoyed the insomnia because I have been able to clean and declutter my house like crazy - I cannot say enough about what a gift it has been to have these few weeks of increased energy. I had no idea what I was missing because I had been fatigued so long and thought I was just lazy.
- Specific side-effects
- Loss of taste
- increased blood sugar
- dry mouth
- Makes me very edgy
- Burden
- The side effects keep changing, so you don't know what to expect. Major emotional feelings, in addition to minor daily physical discomforts, such as dry skin, or burning feelings, or the taste of pepper in my mouth
- Cost
- less than $25 monthly

- EfficacyCan't tell
- Side-effectsModerate
- AdherenceAlways

- Advice/Tips
- Prednisone is less problematic then solemedrol but not as effective and it causes a lot more stomach problems. (they need a better spell check in here, one with medications in it:)
- Specific side-effects
- facial swelling
- roid effects
- Weight gain
- appetite
- ulcer stomach pain
- Burden
- Cost again, generic is helpful but cost depends upon lenght of time I need treatment. Being on steroids for a month or longer at a time can run into a larger cost then would appear then if only for a few days.
- Cost
- $25-49 monthly
