I relapsed following 160 mg/day prednisone that was prescribed for my fungal infection in my lungs (they thought it was GVHD in the lungs). I don't know if it had anything to do with the prednisone. Turned out that one of the doctors said the prednisone was like pouring gasoline on a fire for my fungal infection. They tapered me from the prednisone really quickly. When they prescribed the prednisone they thought they were fighting GVHD, then it turned out to be a fungal infection. They quickly took me off the Tac at that time also.

What does GVHD of the eyes feel like? My eyes feel heavy in the evening, but show no outward signs of a problem. They just don't feel quite normal.
