They may pump you with steriods during a flair.  Sometimes they work and
sometimes not.  MS is the same way.  All they're good for in the long run
is weight gain and lowering your immune response.  Bletch.  Here's hoping
the chriro at least does some good.

As long as it works.  Ironically it's one of those things I really can't

Raised by cats.  I fight dirty.  I'm evil too; I soak raisins in rum for
stollen, and then hide the raisin flavored rum in the fridge.  And you
