FFM - Sorry about the flare. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I am not much help on the med. I do not have any experiences to share with you. Sorry.

As for the munchies, well, I never experienced that with the 'roids. The 'roids upset my stomach too much to eat. Not to mention they increase my fatigue and I end up like a blob on the couch and it is far too much work to get up and get something to eat. Therefore, DDs make me all sorts of smoothies - fruit ones, veggie ones, etc. so that I am at least taking in something. If I know that I will be going on IVSM, we will make them ahead of time so that I can just go to the freezer pull one out, let it thaw, and just drink that.

Let us know how you are doing.
