Does he take the steroids as a pill, or does he use a cream?

I'm led to understand the latter has much less effect on the kidneys.

BTW, what kind of steroid? Prednisone or similar?

He takes prednisone. I know it's damaging to the immune system.

At the one year mark, last November, he had spontaneous pneumothorax. Someone with WHO told me there could be a connection. He has 'blebs' (small holes) in both lungs. He had to have a VATS and was in hospital for 3 wks.
