Hi Birgitta-A,

It is wise to stay away from possible infections.

When my mother took prednisone over 2 months, her white cells and neutrophils became very high temporarily. Can a low dose prednisone help with your neutropenia, if neupogen is not working well?

She had low grade fever for several months after prednisone was tapered, it did nothing for her Hb as well. She continues to be tx dependent.

Thanks for the new year wish.
