I have back problems and my dr gave me steroid pills to help with it. I had a few seizures during the 5 days that I was taking them.
I started going to an orthipeodic surgeon and he suggested getting steroid injections in my back. He said that the steroids in the injections stay more in one area where as the pills travel through the whole body. I asked my neuro about taking them and he didn't give me a yes or no about it because he wasn't sure what would happen. I'm not going to get the injections however, the main reason is because here in the US there is a problems with them causing menenjitis and people have died from it.
The main question though is could the steroids have brought on the seizures?
