Steroids & MS Relapses

Send us Fan Mail When an MS Relapse Happens: Understanding the Role of Steroids In this episode of MS Minute with DCND, we sit down with Dr. Nicole Alexander to talk about one of the most common treatments for MS relapses: steroids. What exactly is a relapse? When are steroids recommended, and how do they help? Are steroids necessary for every relapse? Dr. Alexander explains what patients should know about treating an MS relapse, what to expect from steroid treatment, potential side effects, and why recognizing and addressing relapses promptly can be an important part of MS care. Whether you've experienced a relapse before or are newly navigating an MS diagnosis, this episode provides a clear, practical look at when steroids are used, how they work, and what patients can expect.
