steroid questions
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2015 5:35 pm
I haven't taken these things since 2007 and I hated them then. They didn't really do much. But, I woke up with optic neuritis out of the blue, and in three days I lost about three years of progress in my vision. No changes in how I felt, stress level, diet, nothing. The only thing I did differently was take probiotics, which I am convinced did it. I took a probiotic yeast called sachromycees boulardii along with general lacto...blah blah (I'm normally dairy free). I just read an article linking yeast to autoimmune disease. I am now convinced this is my problem. It's amazing how I took a few doses last fall and started seeing halos at night. I asked about it here, and got no responses with similar experiences. I stopped supplements for a while. Eye doc can't find anything wrong. I started up again, hoping to cure some digestion problems, and wham, within three or four days, biggest flareup of vision I've had.

But my questions are these: does IV steroids hurt gut bacteria? 2. When you get steroids, do you feel better right away. I feel worse. My vision is worse. I can tell no benefit at all. The only reason I take them is the studies show they are supposed to help. (back of my mind is what if my "MS" is some sort of viral infection and I am making things worse. My presentation has always been atypical). I read about people feeling so great after these things. Should I discontinue if I don't get that benefit? 3. I'll try again, anybody else have the halos around lights and glare effect? Anybody else have bad experiences taking yeast or probiotics? Thanks
