I can only say my PCP doctor is adamant about not ever taking steroids of any sort. He said it would be like throwing gasoline on a fire ( regarding the MAC). I don't know if anyone else can shed some light on this topic. Toni

@toni1132 That is correct. I had to get permission from my doctor at Vanderbilt ( when we lived in Tennessee ) to have steroid shots in my back. I was cleared for that because it is not the same as “taking” a steroid like prednisone for inflammation. I’m guessing that with anything, benefits have to outweigh risks. irene5
