I was just prescribed medrol. day 2 of my dose pack I feel 20 yrs younger (as far as pain levels) I have copd/emphysema and know it is terminal. Can my Doctor provide a continuing therapy of this type of help? I feel the need to live the balance of my life with energy to the last breathe .... this felt so good I don t want to not feel this way for the short time I have left. What is your advise?
