thanks for your input Greg.
I am not sure if my mother was given folate as well.As my mom is in India, it is very difficult for me to get in touch with her doctor.But will find out in her next visit.
Hopefully as you said my mom will continue to respond to the treatment and her steroid dose can be reduced to a minimum.
Good Luck to you and many thanks.
