In Japan, many people with MS are taking a small dose of oral steroids for many months or many and even years. I asked my doctor about this. He said some people who have MS relapse when he reduces their dose. I'd like to know about this in your country. In some cases, dexamethasone is used orally for 3-12 days, again with a scheduled taper.
Corticosteroids appear to also be more effective when used in a pulse fashion than when used daily.
Rapid steroid withdrawal in a person who has been on them a long time can cause a steroid-withdrawal syndrome, with severe pain and discomfort in the muscles and joints. This can sometimes even mimic a bout of flu. You did not agree or disagree with this statement, and I was wondering what your opinions are in regard to the effectiveness of T-Cell vaccination. It is intended at present to reduce flare-ups. No definitive reports have been published, suggesting that the effects are going to be subtle or that the current studies are still under wraps.
