solumedrol and lingering fatigue

Is it possible? My fatigue and balance are actually worse since being on the SoluMedrol 2 weeks ago.

HVAC, I have MS and steroids do help me.  It takes the inflammation down.  I am not saying to works for everyone but to make a blanket statment that "they do not help MS" is not true.

Sometimes steroids can make things worse. They do not help MS. They at best give relief from inflammation. There is also a rubberband effect when you get off of them where symptoms are worse. Doctors use them basically because they have nothing better to offer.
