Do steroids help your Chiari symptoms?

Has anyone found that steroids reduced the severity of some of your Chiari symptoms?  My PCP gave me a round of steroids and I have felt better than I have in a long time (not perfect, but better).  However, I also had a fairly bad MVA and am not sure if it is helping symptoms from that or Chiari.

  Hi...is this oral or injections?....I know some have had relief, but it  is short lived as u can only be on steroids for so long.....

  I hope it has reduced the inflammation long enuff for u to relax and feel better.....this may also allow other meds to keep a control on it.

   Good luck

The steroids were oral and, yes, my doctor said it was just a patch to get me through. My symptoms didn't go away, but I can function, which is a huge blessing. I have an appointment with a NS on Tuesday so maybe we will have a clearer path forward after that.

I had steroids orally after surgery and it does give some relief.  Wish you the best on your visit on Tues.   Best of luck.
