A member asked:
I was told staying on 5 mg prenisone is not harmful especially if it is helping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relativity : For instance, if Prednisone is keeping you away from going back on life support due to your respiratory condition, suppressing the immune system from attacking a transplanted kidney, keeping a severe case of lupus dormant, advantages are not questioned. There are grey areas where it comes down to an informed choice a patient makes with ones doctor.
