Hi Hopeful!
I like your prednisone theory. I think the marrow is generally a very sensitive organ -- particularly among those of use who have some level of marrow failure. I recall that I had to stop exjade at one point because it was messing with my marrow.

I only have about on-third of my pancreas left, but, so far, I have needed neither insulin or replacement enzymes. I hope that holds up. It looks like transplant alone will have me on plenty of drugs all by itself!

Thanks!

Greg
