In the past I have taken IV solumedrol, oral prednisone, and more recently I have been consuming my solumedrol orally in orange juice (affectionately known as a "solumedrol smoothie").

Have I been "affected" by taking oral steriods? You bet! Positively. My doctor and I plan to treat my MS with oral solumedrol every three months. The hope is that this treatment will keep me "thinking" clearly and functioning in society.

But why do I think this isn't really what you're looking for?
