Execellent point!

I have had several episodes of new of the return of old sx that lasted past the 24 hour mark and recovered just fine without steroids. The use of muscle relaxers, and PT or other avenues have helped greatly. Its really rare that I agree to steroids. I save them for my visual stuff. Since I have big issues with optic neuritits I dont want to play with going blind, and NO medicine is without side effects and consequences including steroids.
