Early on, I didn't need steroids to manage a flare up, but the longer I had UC, the more severe it became, and the more likely I needed steroids. Over time, it became impossible to get off the steroids - for most people, they are able to taper off with the use of maintenance medication.

there are many who never had, or who will no longer use.

we also told you when and how they are generally used, and alternatives.

did you not believe or understand our earlier responses?
