Confused How much STEROIDS?



Does anyone know how much steroids we can have - like how often we can have an IV treatment - or oral steroid treatment?

I did a week of IV solumedrol (at 1 gram a day) from Jan 8-12, followed by a several day taper of oral steroids. It did a good job of knocking out most of the symptoms. But they are starting to return. Not as strong...but they're slowly creeping back in. I don't think I need as strong of a dose - but I want something to kick it in the butt (plus one new symptom is starting, not so good on that end)....so how much can we take? I heard someone in a chat room say his daughter is on oral steroids regularly.

Is it bad? Is it okay to take? Anyone know? Anyone have experience?

Thanks,

~Keri
