Hello everyone,
How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion? 
Have any of you have any reactions to corticosteroids prescribed to treat your MS? When did it happen - when you first started them or when you had been taking them for a while? What type of reactions did you have? How did you cope with it?

I've recently had my 3rd relapse since being diagnosed in 2012. I have had the 5 day high dose course of steroids before and I am used to the unpleasant side effects - constant nausea and everything tasting of metal followed by the insatiable appetite once my taste comes back. However, this time I finished the course over a week ago and spent the next few days having what I can only describe as withdrawal symptoms - sweating and shivering at the same time, hallucinating and the most horrific stomach cramps and skin hurt to touch almost like it felt sunburnt! I'm starting to feel better now but one of the symptoms that won't go away is really itchy palms, neck and head!!it's really starting to get me down as I'm scratching myself raw. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar and what they did to suppress the itch or how long I can expect it to last???going a bit crazy here 😫
