invasive aspergillosis in patients on prednisone

[Guest guest]

Bet this is what happened to me in 1983 when I caught " CFIDS " . Prednisone made

me deathly sick and I never recovered. It was the only time in my life I was

ever given prednisone for my life long asthma. IMO its super deadly and I

advise everyone against it.

look at other posts by doing a word search. I had posted the potential

danger of prednisone earlier. Prednisone does reduced inflammation.

However, in the process it suppresses the immune system. There is

ample information in the medical literature regarding invasive

aspergillosis in patients on prednisone. Believe me, it does occur,

particularly in patients with COPD. Jack D. Thrasher, Ph.D.

I should have stressed the fact that Prednisone should always be a

medicine of " Last Resort " , since, as you say, it " suppresses the immune

system " . Thanks for pointing that out.
