Dear Carole:
Welcome to this Community! You are the first from British Columbia, but we already have other Canadians from Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.
I suggest that you and your doctors start by reading the materials posted here in the Disorder Details and Disorder Resources sections. If you need the text of any of the medical articles summarized in Disorder Resources, let me know at _aporzeca@american.edu_ and I'll send them to you.
For your information, steroids like Prednisone are not a recommended form of therapy for SCLS, although they can serve a very useful purpose in large doses, for a few days, during a severe episode.
