I plan on using rest and alternative therapy (massage, may trying accupuncture and such) when/if I have a flare.
Anyone else NOT use steroids at all?
Thanks for all the advice, answers and warm welcome!!

...only as a last resort, which I haven't resorted too! I had hystoplasmosis in an eye many years ago and the steriod would cause a high risk of that being reactivated. So, basically I'm doing nothing so far.
Oh, and I had a lap band put in almost 2 years ago. How have you done on your weight loss?
