http://ard.bmj.com/cgi/content/short/ard.2008.096925v1?rss=1I've not used steroids for RA control......  but this is very interesting:

I have always had such a love/hate (mostly hate) of steroids.  So necessary for me yet I hate not only what they do to my body but to my mind when I am on them!  This will make me think a bit better of what they can do... and in light of the fact I am on a biologic as well!
