Thanks Desertflower! That article was great - nice to have so much info in one spot. I bookmarked it for later use.

I've been self-medicating with coffee lately. My neuro is trying to get me to reduce my steroids but I'm stuck at 40 mg alternate days. At that dose I am fairly "normal" and able to cope with the things life throws at me usually, but my non-steroid days I ALWAYS feel weaker, hence an increase in caffene those days. I make sure I begin non-steroid days with a coffee and usually have a few more throughout the day while teaching. I was always a tea drinker but now alternate between the two.

Hope you are all well!
