Steroid use also causes your own immunity to go down. Earl is on a maintenance dose of 10 mg a day due to his other co-morbidities - and I would like to get him down to 5 - but we will wait and see. It also can interfere with the blood counts.
Briggita is a dear and a wonderful source of information. Don't be afraid to ask the Dr. questions - and use the internet to research. I did go to the AA/MDS site, and they sent me a great info packet. You might want to try that as well. Good luck to you, your Mom and the family.
