Dogs Rule My Life

I spend most of my time with dogs and that makes me happy. I love dogs. I love training them, I love hanging out with them, I love throwing the ball all day long for them and I love it when their ears go back and their entire body wags when they are so happy to see that special someone.

Solu-Medrol Infusions


I called my doctor Wednesday because I'm not feeling any better. She decided that I needed to go ahead with the infusions. I did my first Solu-Medrol infusion yesterday and have to go back today and tomorrow for more. Basically I sit with an IV of 1000mg of steroids pumping into my vein for 30 minutes. The only noticeable side effects were a horrible metallic taste in my mouth that made food taste awful and an increased appetite. I had slight heartburn but I'm not sure if I can blame that on the steroids or the fact that I had Taco Bell right after.
Can't wait to get the bill for this little adventure. I just hope that I don't get the insomnia that other patients complain about after their infusions. I can deal with some more heartburn and some increased hunger (which is welcomed since one of my MS symptoms is no appetite) and the gross taste in my mouth, but do NOT mess with my sleep!
