Hi Bill:
When I went to Dr Castro he told me to take prednisone, but my heart races on it and I get very hyper. I take 20 mg and it helps with the pain but I have to take adavan with it. Doesn't prednisone cause yeast, and also I'm on antibiotics again and I know that causes yeast. They gave me the losenger also and I eat yogurt everyday. I also had diflucan and the yeast seems to go away then it comes back. He didn't give me cyclosporine because I had an allergic reaction on it after the horse ATG. But I told him to let me try it since it's been 10 years, but he didn't. So since I'm having the yeast problem, that means that my immune system is compromised
so my blood counts should start to come up? It's over a month and I feel so weak, I'm doing more than when I first came home, but there are days I can't function. Now I'm getting the sweats and I can't breath when it happens, I had this for a week after the horse ATG. Maybe the ATG is trying leave my system. Thanks for all your help. Lynn
