Great if you want to look like Hulk Hogan and risk heart problems. Stopped it after we saw the side effects.

A quick IV 'fixer-upper' for early RR. Can be administered via home-care. Not to be overused. Used before Novatrone.

They do work, but I hate the side effects. They aren't serious, but asthmatics know what I'm talking about.

I think corticosteroids were more of a placebo effect. They jump started the hair re-growth, but eventually the hair grew back in about 6 months on its own anyway. Besides, after only having a few treatments of this method, I realized that it was not worth the money, nor my health, because the steroids itself are not good for you.
Too Soon To Tell
Hurts
Not Working
Not sure if they helped or not but as they were prescribed for Bell's Palsy and nothing cleared up until I got on the right medication I'd say no they didn't work.
