i find that when I have needed them it takes up to a week to feel full effects and then it gets even better when I start tapering the dose.
My secret was when my consultant who was an author for the UK guidelines for Bx, introduced me to Azrythromycin. While this is an antibiotic in its own right, but of course may not be right for every infection, it also has a powerful anti inflammatory effect for reasons that are unclear. Clarithromycin is in the same group but seems not to have the same effect. I found that Az worked better then oral steroids for me. The difficulty is that some people do not just have Bx but have other conditions too like asthma. With those conditions inhaled steroids are a fact of life but while these are less powerful than the oral dose, they do not have the same extreme side effects. The key is good advice from a doctor who understands these conditions
