Thanks to everybody who wished me well I had a lot of PMs as well as general posts. I spent 6 weeks in the UK fighting Ocular Myathenia with steroids under supervision of the hospital I'm glad to say that now the double vision has gone.
I came back to the Middle East last week and apart from a slight blip in so much as the change in climate from 16 Celsius in London to 49 in Saudi set the double vision off again for a couple of days. I am now under control on 40 mg of steroids every other day. The aim is to get stable for 3 months and start reducing to a maintenance level on the steroids.
I am planning to come back to LOS in Sept or Oct and would be very grate full if any of you guys out there are on steroids and could give me a little information of what side effects you get. Some do get and some don't I'm told. Is it a good Idea to come to LOS so soon and what should I be careful of. I know the doctors can advise a lot but there is nothing like first hand information from fellow steroid takers who get up to the same tricks I do
