Good luck - and I hope you feel better from this flare...

I take advil as well, now and then. Steroids are hard on your blind stomach because they work on the proton pumps as well, and you get decreased acids in your blind stomach. That is one of the reasons to be careful with NSAIDS, because of your blind stomach and the increased possibility of ulcers, since it would be so difficult to diagnose. BUT, with that said, I never had problems with them prior to surgery, and my chances of having trouble with them now is just as low.
I did go on a very LOW does of steroid therapy for my urticaria in November. No side effects, I just hated being on them!
