Ok I had to chime in,now if i was on steroids all the time i may not feel this way.....but I LOVE steroids! Injections, pills! I had reactive mono had a steroid injection all my lymph nodes went down and energy came back..Flashforward to now.......i get the pill form when i have severe sinus inflammation and i get so much energy, yeah my muscles are weak but I will have ENERGY! And my joints wont hurt because thanks to spasticity and muscle wasting, muscle in my shoulders, elbows, knees and ankles are wearing out..so steroids wont stop als but they make me feel better but i have never heard of a doctor using them for ALS only inflammation.
