                        my son of 45 has got pemphigus vulgaris. He is on steroids with many side effects.  Is this there any other   treatment beside steroids. He has a few bouts of feeling okay, now his gums are bleeding. His doctor does not seem to be a lot of help, as he had not seen a case before, so he wants to change his tablets but is finding it difficult. Is there anyone there who is succesfully controlled.
