My neurologist has me on a steady 10mg every other day of prednisone. Then when I have flare ups he will try to have me do 10mg every day. Again it seeme to help after a bit of time but with my diabetes I have to be carefull as well. The steroid drives my sugar up so I need to be sure to make adjustments. I have also recently started Celcept in hopes to eliminate the steroids.We just have to keep on keeping on....
