Make sure you get lots of potassium, too. The roids really deplete you of potassium. Google about foods high in potassium. I was surprised that bananas aren't the best. I don't like bananas so that is why I was looking for other things. I would typically eat dried apricots, lots of canteloupe and drink the V8 with Calcium (it has a lot of potassium and calcium).

Oh and you might feel worse before better. The crash after IVSM is kind of bad for some people. I typically would crash for a couple of days and then get progressively better for a couple of weeks.

I'm so glad you went, got a good doctor, got it documented, and got treatment that might help to end this flare. Good for you!
