Re: Re: Solu-Medrol Side Effects?

[Guest guest]

I don't know about side-effects, but I'm to have my oral surgery Thursday and the surgeon is planning to give me a Valium before hand Decadron steriod IV during the procedure and a shot of decadron before he discharges me. But he warned me that not only the surgery could cause a relapse but also worrying about the surgery, hence the Valium for before and he got a pain management plan for me(last two times I had root canals, I had canker sores erupt in my mouth and the nerves became inflamed) Soo I feel ok about this and my regular dr who is local and knows I have MS will be on call if the pain gets bad or I run into problems. But I decided to do this over Christmas soo I could be on bedrest to recover and only actually miss 2 days of work. Mom's going to have the kids for the 21st and 22nd. One question, has ya'lls spouse ever said something that justs rubs you the wrong way about the MS? We are

still building the addition and I told my husband he was installing the light switches too high and he said that's just because the old part of the house has them at waist level. And I said I know but if I ever have to be in a wheelchair that is the perfect heighth. And he said, your just bound and determined you'll end up in a wheel chair. It pissed me off. I just don't think he realizes the surprises MS can throw you. Any suggestions how I can show or tell him. Plus to also let him know I can't help put up drywall all day and be able to walk or work the next day?(Mine is still the primary income, he's looking for a job but right now, he's not making anything and I haven't received child support in three months. His dad gave me his credit card to buy Christmas for the kids and I'll pay him back with my tax return.)

This is just a guess, but I have had more dental work and oral surgery than ten

people, all post MS, and my guess is that being on Decadron for a longer period

of time, with a slower taper might do the job better--this is not "medical advice,"

just my own experience, and for me Decadrom works better than any cortico

steroid that I have ever had. Best of luck and good fortune to you, and please do,

as you are able, keep us "posted!"--Love, n
