Getting Prednisone for the itching.

I'm not fond of the thought of steroids, BUT, if it the PN is autoimmune related, then I may see some help in my PN symtpoms, right? The whole thing where one doc things I may have MS is still bugging me, even though my MRI was good, too many symptoms of something going on. I think I'm taking a week's worth that goes down a pill every couple days.
