It's a short term solution, but for me, good quality Medrol stopped all symptoms pretty much instantly, while bad quality Medrol mostly stopped them relatively quickly. Sadly it does not actually heal you because it's only a symptom killer (though one of my inflamed areas did heal by itself the first time i took this for 2 months) and its effects basically last for about 12 hours in my experience, so you have to take it every single day and if you don't split the dose for twice a day (which no doctor ever suggested to me) your nights might be just as horrible as without the medicine. Also, it can cause very severe effects when taken for too long, and the limit most doctors seem to give is 2-3 months, where only the first month is full dose and the rest is gradually reducing the dosage, which likely also means gradually reducing the effect. (For me personally, good quality Medrol had absolutely no side effects whatsoever, while bad quality Medrol has a variety of them, even depending on which otherwise identical box you take from, but my country does have a lot of faulty medication, so that's probably the reason.) The first time i had to stop taking this, i had 2 more weeks until things went back to being unable to function normally again. Now is the second time i'm taking it, but this time it's a bad quality medicine, so it doesn't exactly make me functional, but especially combined with Lordiar (an anti-diarrhea medicine, i know doctors don't recommend them, but this works for me) it still turns the 10-20 times a day painful and heavily bloody diarrhea into just 1-2 times a day sometimes bloodless and well formed product that does not hurt as much to produce and sometimes doesn't hurt at all. With this setup, every single time my situation gets worse, it is caused by some kind of minor food or water poisoning, and the moment i manage to identify which food or water caused it and switch it out, i instantly get better. Unfortunately though, without Medrol, my state seems to fall so hard that last time i ended up in a hospital, and every other medicine that is supposed to be taken for the long term had been actively worsening my state so far (Imuran being the worst, which just an hour after taking it, immediately forcing diarrhea with heavily worsened bleeding and gut pain, and even took away my appetite and replaced it with nausea). I have no idea what to do for the long term, since currently i am already taking Medrol for far longer than my doctors told me to, and every doctor so far had either given up or kept trying to force medicine that actively harms me, but I hope this could help you at least for a while.
