***Raises hand****

Me! I HATE HATE HATE Roids, and they hate me! I will not take them unless I am really severe, and I am risking something precious like my eye sight. I will take them for ON, but wont take them for other flairs, like dragging a leg, or tri gem stuff. I just sort of suck it up, and ride it out. My MS center says that if you have sx for longer than 24 hours straight, they have a 2 week window to start you on steriods to shorten the length of the attack. After 2 weeks of waiting the recovery rate is the same as those who refused steroids. The steroids help make the attack shorter, which is supposed to preserve function and stability, and hope that it prevents a permenant sx. I just hate how I am when on roids, and it takes me so much longer to recover from the roid than it does to recover from the flair. I hate this disease!
