This article didn't mention if they were discussin high dose IV

steroids like used for MS, vs. low dose, long term prednisone useage.

Anyone have any insight on the difference?

I guess this is least of our worries. But steroids have been in use

forever, and they are just now finding out a long term risk factor

like this. It makes me wonder what long term effects are to be faced

by those of us that got run through a mixture of immune system

tinkering drugs like the ABCR's and Novantrone, which have a shorter

history of use. Not to mention dollops of steroids along the the way.

Thank god those of us lucky enough to have found LDN can now ween off

the scary stuff. This is my 3rd week since stopping Avonex & going

solo w/ LDN, so far improvement continues.
