This post is just a little film that the MS trust made, interviewing me about relapses. I put it on social media, but forgot to share it here.

There is some editing that happened; for instance one thing that didn’t make it into the final cut but that is important to know is, that there is a rare, but real risk, which increases with the number of times that you have high dose steroids for relapses, of a very painful condition in the future, called avascular necrosis of the hip. This causes severe hip pain, is only diagnosable via MRI ( ie it doesn’t show up on Xray), and can only be resolved with a hip replacement. Otherwise, I hope it’s helpful.
