Keri,

Each time you use steroids, it reduces the effect they will have on your system the next time you take them. Depending on the dose and how long you take the the medication will determine how many times your system is able to tolerate them. They can have some nasty side effects on you as well.

I just read the other day about a long term study they did on patients who used steroids for their MS. The conclusion was that while steroids reduce the symptoms of the patient during an attack, they had no effect on the course of the disease.
