I've just started pulse methylprednisolone infusions (1000mg, for 3 days, monthly). generally, at what point does immunosuppression become a concern?

Pulse therapy: one of the benefits of pulse therapy for whatever condition, is reduction in side effects such as immunosuppression, in addition to many other side benefits as increased compliance, just keep a follow up with your physician, practice common sense though, for at least a week after therapy avoid contact with sick people, wear a mask if you want to be extra cautious, take care
