As for the use of Steroids, I suggest only using them if your exacerbation is really bad and you either/or can't see or walk. Otherwise ride it out and perhaps change DMDs.
Already started steroids. Walking has been uber challenging. Breathing and sleeping also impacted. Went w/the drugs!

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
