Medrol (Methylprednisone) vs Prednisone

Has anyone here taken medrol for your Crohn's Disease? If so, do you know why your doctor put you on it rather than normal prednisone? Did it help you at all?
 
I have been placed on Medrol (six day packs) for flare ups with my Crohn's disease. This seems to be more effective than prednisone at stopping the flare ups, however, most times my symptoms return once I get below the third day dosage. I am on 20mg of prednisone daily now and it does nothing for my current issues.
