I can't take steroids. My skin, especially my face turns beat red and I feel like I have a horrible sunburn and then in some places I peel. On steroids I am known as the "screaming red meanie". So, definately a no no for me.

I just do what I can do get over the exacerbations. The last time my ears were really affected, like a roaring ocean, was terrible. I let my PCP give me a shot of Predisone in the rear. Wasn't enough to really effect me bad and it helped GREATLY!
