I use a cane all the time now. Just tired of people starring at me because I walk like I'm drink.

Even on "good" days I take it with me because I never know when I will get wobbly.
I won't do steroids. I just wait the flair ups out and so far I've come out of all of them within 2-6 months. My worst was 6 months. Shortest was 2......usually they are somewhere in between.
