Sporadic Corticosteroid Pulses and Osteoporosis in Multiple Sclerosis
Arch Neurol 53:753-757, Schwid,S.R.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Bone density is decreased in MS.A single corticosteroid pulse did not reduce bone density in fully ambulatory patients with MS and multiple pulses did not have a cumulative effect on bone density in retrospective analysis.The change in femoral density in poorly ambulatory patients may have been related to inactivity rather than the steroid pulse.
