I ended up in an emergency room two weeks ago with inflammation on my brain. They did an MRi again and they do believe now that I do have Clippers Disease. I may have relapsed over too low of a taper on my steroids. So they did the 500 mg intravenous doses for 3 days and then now 60 mg for 14 days. I feel awful from the symptoms from the steroid fallout. I am lucky that I don't have all they symptoms you guys show here. I have the tingling in the face, tinnitus, and severe headaches. we caught mine early due to a freak trip down the stairs and a concussion that brought light to the spots on that pons during an MRI to find out why my headaches were not going away. The wind down from the steroids are horrible and they are not monitoring the sugar or any other levels that are going off the charts since I left the hospital. I see my regular doctor on Monday so I am going to tell him I need help. I am expected to go back to work as a school teacher and deal with my head feeling as if it is going to explode and being jittery as a cat while going on weeks with no sleep. I have balance issues from time to time but not extreme. I have not had the speech issues yet. I do have serious double vision and dizziness and nausea. Does anyone know how to deal with the issues while tapering down on the steroids?
