Would prednisone help ms symptoms or would it not do anything if it was ms related. I'm really hoping it wouldn't help and my symptoms are not ms, any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Steroids are often used to treat the inflammatory phase of MS. As with anything there are risks and benefits to their use.
