Steroids. If the inflammation is more severe then steroids may be used. They are given either in a tablet form or intravenously, in hospital if necessary. Your doctor will choose the preparation they feel is best for you. They are usually safe to use but doctors are reluctant for people to take these medicines long term as they can lead to weight gain, mood changes and acne in some people. This is because of the risk of side effects. But, most people do get better with these treatments as they do induce remission but should not be used to maintain remission.
