Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Lou, I have been on prednisone for 12 years. Just this last year my lung doc, Dr. Raghu, put me on that same antibiotic. It is supposed to protect from some infections. It didn't keep me out of the hospital in November when I developed pneumonia and it also doesn't keep me from yeast infections and thrush (actually works with the prednisone to cause them). Oh well, I just tell myself to imagine how bad it would be if I didn't take it! lol.
