No such luck! It's the wrong type of steroid. But only take them if there's a clear indication, okay?

I was on them near a year when I was first diagnosed.It never helped, and it took ages to recovre from them. Now when I take them for a few days for sinus ifnection--which I really do need them for---I go through what I'm going through now--a suppressed pituitary gland 3 months after 5 days of medicine.

Only with a really clear diagnosis, Mark. Not just to give it a try. Too dangerous.
