This is a question that I thought I had a solid understanding of but there is still a grey area of doubt.
This is regarding the use of steroids in a flair. What I had distilled from all the information out there was that steroids reduce the inflammation that occurs during a flair and can help you fell better faster. But do not have any affect on the degree of long term damage.
My experience when I was first diagnosed was that the steroids completely reversed the symptoms while I was on them but they returned shortly after I finished the course and took months to diminish. They always return when my body is under some kind of stress particularly hot weather.
The question is, does getting IVSM have any use other than to help us feel better faster?
