Ravenfey, I have only used steriods and prednisalone when I have had iritis eye infections but never for the nerves. Good luck. I hope it works for you.
I'm still having pain thanks to the Cymbalta. It may effect some people different than others, but for me it is a nightmare. I go into the neurologist and come out with more pain than I started. And my nerve test came back normal. The whole thing just disgust me! I see my orthopedic specialist in September. Let see what he can do.
