Hi all,
I'm just looking for some info regarding prednisone dosage amounts of others who have had a bone marrow transplant, post tranplant @ about 9 months. My husband had a transplant in Aug. and his Dr. has him down to 7.5mg once a day now. He is thankfully in remission as of now. However, he has been extremely tired and week. He was sent to an endochronologist today. The Endo suggested uping the prednisone back to 10mg along with uping some other meds. The endo seems to think that at such a low dose, the prednisone's side-effects are minimal compared to the benefit of him having more energy. On the other hand, his oncologist has impressed upon us many times the need for him to get off of the steroid asap.
I would appreciate any insight from any of you who have been through this.

Thanks in advance,
Nicole
