Sorry I have been a little late getting back with you all on your post but this has been a long week. I spent this whole week getting 1000 mgs of steroids by IV for the last 5 days. I know it is suppose to help but I think that it makes you feel just as bad going through it. I was dx in 2002 and have had a flare up every year except for 2005 (which I don't know how I did that without being on ABC meds.) I am not currently taking anything right now, most everything I have tried makes me really sick or I become allergic to it. I am hoping my recovery will be swift and I can get back to feeling like my old self again what ever that may be. Take care and thanks for saying hi.
