Impatient - no worries, you certainly didn't offend! I should have been more clear. I only meant that there can be a lot of possible conclusions hidden in the statistics of any study, whether the results are positive or negative. I know that my RE's group doesn't use steroids for all patients but they clearly do use it for some. So, I think the bottom line is that you need to be on the same page as your doc!

answerswanted - I do hope you get things straightened with what you're supposed to be doing. Good luck!
