Does anyone know anything about the steroid creams that are absorbed through the skin. where do you apply them? are they as effective as the injectible stuff? advantages? disadvantages? i was told by a friend that they are available right now and was thinkig about getting some. i've done the injectibles twice before along with orals, but am so fed up with taking shots and the anxiety that comes with it since i've heard horror stories of people dying from a bad injection(could be rumors and hiope they are). any feedback from anyone that is knowledgable an the topic or has used the cream is appreciated.
