Sorry, I don't actually know anything that attenuates the side effects of high-dose steroids, other than the fact that their use is temporary.
The synthetic steroids they give for things like MS flares are really just artificial analogues to mimic the same stress hormones produced by your own adrenal glands in response to a crisis.
They do work as intended most of the time, so I'd encourage you to whiteknuckle through it. The silver lining as well, other than the medication being temporary, is that the human body is amazing and will naturally adapt to most conditions, so side effects should dampen the longer you are on the medication, especially since it's something already endogenous to the body.
