Corticosteroids, hydrocortisone, prednisone for ME/CFS

To me it is totally unsurprising that corticosteroids given to pregnant mothers might impair detail brain growth. But then we only give them to mothers who would otherwise be dead or too disabled to contemplate pregnancy otherwise (mostly lupus) and tend to have illnesses with major risks for the foetus anyway.

This may be additional useful data but, as has been said, this is a question of balancing risks.
I think it is irresponsible to title it 'anti-inflammatory drugs' since that term is largely used to mean drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen. Why not be precise and say steroids.

 

The paper has a better title, it’s the news outlet that’s using anti-inflammatory. Still not acceptable, though..
