I've never used steroids in the 17+ yrs I've had this disease. I've never used ANY meds actually (like, DMD's, Baclofen, Neurontin, etc.) , except Naproxen and a/d's (on occasion), and LDN.

My neuro and doc don't agree with steroids because most of my lesions are spinal ones, meds and I don't get along, and the potential short & long-term side effects.

I have been paralyzed twice, and numb from head to toe on a few occasions too . . . but have recovered as quickly and well as anyone I've heard of who's gone through the same thing with steroids. Apparently, there are absolutely no clinical trials that support the use of steroids for spinal lesion attacks specifically.
