beautytransforming, I have had 6 exacerbations (relapse, flare-up, attack). The first 2 exacerbations I used oral prednisone - that and ACTH were the only options at that time.

The last 4 exacerbation I have waited out and just treat symptoms if needed.

There are some who have relapsing/remitting MS and can go into remission without the use of steroids but, there are some who can't remit without steroids.

It would really take alot to make me use steroids ever again but never say never.

My original neuro believes doctors are over prescribing steroids.
