High dose wysolone (steroid) is useful only in some forms of IgA nephropathy and not all. Usually it depends on the specific findings in the kidney biopsy and the amount of urine protein you are passing in a day.
High dose steroids (wysolone) for more than few months is associated with a lot of side effects. Expect your doctor to reduce the dose gradually with time.
