You are incorrect in presuming that an MS patient would be on a routine regiment of steriods.

If the MS progresses and no longer responds to other treatments, a one-day steriod pulse treatment may be implemented monthly. The high-dose steriods can seriously effect your mood and your ability to function normally. If Montel had been in the middle of steriod treatment, there's no way he could have made the appearance in Savannah. IMHO. The primary MS drug which I believe Montel does use is Copaxone, which I also use. It does not effect mood or behavior.
