I can sure keep taking them as long as they work. I've had CH's for 6 years now. About a year ago I thought they had quit working for me. I changed steroids and twala.....working again. I went from Prednisone to Medrol (Methylprednisolone 4mg tablets) and they've been working. Actually I started off taking Medrol in the beginning. Dr. swapped me to Prednisone for some reason after a while and then back to Medrol when the Prednisone lost it's touch. My doctor stated we will probably change again to another type of roid. He stated there is a difference. I thought a roid was a roid but I guess some could have different results from others. Have you tried any others yourself? If all the different ones stop working for me,.......oh my......gotta pray harder here.
