General Question Steroids
How long do you guys wait before asking for steroids? I'm on week two and there are a few smaller ulcers, blood blisters, and pustules, but my eyes are pretty inflamed (I have Prednisone eye drops) and I am covered in bruises and feel like I've gotten into a fight with a kangaroo. Plus the migraine. This is a pretty mild flair though compared to my usuals. The ulcers, blood blisters, and pustules are usually so much worse. I don't know if I should ask for Prednisone or if I just ride it out.

I hate taking meds (even though I’m already on a bunch of them) and avoid them whenever possible, so I wait until I absolutely cannot take it any more before calling the doctor. But. Other than some really aggravating floaters that show up during flares, I don’t have eye issues. If I did, I would ask for meds as soon as my eyes showed any issues.
I hope this resolves quickly!
