Hi Jill - my neuro started giving me prednisone in 12/05 after a spinal tap. Pills at first, for one month. It worked great, I was able to take long walks with just a cane. After that, she put me on IV prednisone, 3,000mg every three months. I was ill after each dose, sometimes so bad I was in bed for two days. Then, I felt better, but not as good as the first time. She said that the steroids reduce inflammation & therefore help reduce damage. This continued until 2/08, when I was diagnosed with MS, now taking Copaxone injections daily and no more prednisone.
