Thanks for the reply jerry, it slightly saddened me that my third post got many more replies than this one as there must be something in this steroid link for some of us.
Anyhow your response fits in neatly with one of dr jensens ideas, that if you are targeting the right system response is normally shown within 2-3 days.
The problem is that it could be doing one of 3 things at least
1. increasing cortisol or other hormones {doubtful in my view but who knows}2. decreasing cortisol
3. dampening down an overactive immune system
Some ads do dampen down part of the immune ststem it seems but as far as I can see only Il1, which may explain partial or nil response.
If your doc is a goody you could ask for your cortisol and immune system to be tested then the
answer might be closer.I would be grateful if you would let me know how you get on, probably because this is going to be my next step, I know my cortisol is high but Ill have to have the immune system tested also
If you want to email me direct please feel free at g.macauley@ntlworld .com, if not dont worry I may catch it on the board.
Godd luck jerry I really think you have grounds for optimism , the steroid effect is a real clue
