FreezerDoor, time to get a new neurologist. Corticosteroids don't cross the blood brain barrier so they won't help at all. The anti-inflammatory benefits from these corticosteroids are to inhibit the release of arachidonic acid from the cell membrane. Arachidonic acid is the building block of inflammatory hormones, prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This is fine but they also inhibit the release of the omega 3 EPA which is anti-inflammatory. All is pointless because the brain can't use utilize the benefit. This is why you can't use them long term in any circumstance because by inhibiting the release of fatty acids from the cell membrane, essentially you are cutting off your innate immune system all together. The only thing that has shown significant benefit is HIGH doses of omega 3's, primarily EPA, because it will reduce the effects of arachidonic acid and reduce neuro-inflammation. You do need DHA as well! Arachidonic acid is an omega 6 fatty acid you can only obtain in the diet and therefore, get them out of your diet. Vegetable oils, egg yolks, meat are all sources of omega 6's. Insulin helps to convert the omega 6, linoleic acid to arachidonic acid so try to cut back on high glycemic carbs. Here is a study that explains!
