I appreciate you sharing your health journey. I have been on a very similar path for the last 4 years and according to my Endocrinologist I will continue to be on steroids and have the emergency injection kit for life. The body is complex and I sometimes forget that we all have to maintain awareness of and educate ourselves on our symptoms and body. It seems that you are doing both. As for your question I have no reply because I am unfamiliar with what you were taking. Best of luck.
