No improvement but I am out of the hospital
The IV steroids didn't seem to make a dent in the rash and actually it spread a little while I was in the hospital. I guess the doc assumed he could treat me in clinic just as easily in the hospital so he discharged me on Friday. Didn't break my heart. The rash is starting to be annoying. It is itching a little (not uncontrollably). Also when I took a shower the other day and used one of the patches to keep my catheter dry. When I took took the patch off it pulled some of the rash with it. Not nice!
I am on 70 MG of prednisone twice a day plus I am on 25 MG of cyclosporine twice a day. Hope something kicks in soon.
The CMV virus doesn't seem to be bothering me. They started me on Vaiganciclovir (commonly known as Valcyte) 900 MG twice a day and it did drop the CMV slightly.
Cheers
