Awww Trish. So sorry you're had another exacerbation. I hate the steroids too but when my eye's involved I'm happy to take them to get my vision back to 'normal' just as fast as possible.
I can't offer advice about the meds because I won't take any of them. I've chosen to simply treat the symptoms as they arise and not fill my body with what I consider .... do nothing for me. I know others don't think the same way as I do, but that's OK, everyone is as different as this disease.
I hope some-one can help you out and I hope you feel better soon.
