A member asked:
How dangerous would it be to use an auto immune suppressant on someone who may not need it? or only as a hail mary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risky: Immune suppression is risky even in patients for whom it is indicated. It is complicated, and should be managed by an expert. I urge you to make sure you are being treated by an expert in immune suppression (allergist/immunologist, rheumatologist, hematologist/oncologist, transplant physician, etc.)
