Erin - I hate being in that position. Personally, I use the steroids b/c I hate the symptoms and figure why suffer. Of course, my first two times, I used IVSM and it not only worked like a charm, the side effects were pretty much nil.
But as I'm sure you read, I just finished an horrendous course of oral prednisone. And i'm still struggling - and have been thinking about asking my neuro for an IVSM course. I was going to call today to get it started, but just didn't have the energy. I actually see him tomorrow....I might ask. Just such a pain in the butt. And it is costly (a few hundred $$ vs $30 for the pills). However, with that said, I don't think I will EVER agree to take those pills again. OMG -  I just keep telling myself that it would have gotten worse had I not taken them....because if I believe otherwise, I get upset and even nuttier.
Good luck - vertigo and double vision STINK!!
