But everyone is different. If steroids weren't so bad for my blood sugar and have long term risks for bones, I'd take them more often.

Thank you Mrs, D.
Steroids are yet another drug I know nothing about with the exception that I had to give them to my son a lot for Croup when he was younger. I have had unremitting sciatica since Valentine's Day and was contemplating buying a cane yesterday because I cannot bear weight on leg. It's nice to know they can fix you up in an emergency situation because the Epidurals scare me to death. Thank you xx
