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.
I'm working full time in congressional affairs. Have 2kids age 8 and 13. Don't like drugs, but chose the speed it up option in order keep going!

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
