Steroid burst success stories?

[bigmighty]

bigmighty- when done with the steroid taper, consider immediately starting a taper of 5 days of advil. I read about using advil to further taper off of steroids on an MS website. They said they used it to avoid "rebound inflammation". We have done this several times with good results (could be coincidence, but I thought it made sense). I do something like- starting the day after the last steroid dose- 3 advil a day X 2 days, 2 advil a day X 1 day, 1 advil a day X 2 days.

 

Good luck!!!!!

 

Oh- BTW- this is an excellent time to do ERP therapy to accelerate the shedding of the ocd.

 

 

Thanks. We are planning a two week taper on the advil - beginning w/ 3x daily for the first week. Next appt w/ERP expert is this coming Monday! DS is eager to start.

I'm so glad to hear your Son is improving

 

Is your Son primarily suffering from OCD or does he also tic?

 

Just OCD.
