Guest guest Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi All - I saw a new Pulmo-dudette ? last week and as I'm continuing to degrade and my O2 keeps dropping, she wanted to put me on prednisone 60mg/day for 1 mo. and then reduce it. However, I have a plethora of maladies...and am concerned about problems taking it. I read about pirfenidone (I think), but it's not approved for use here in the US, yet. I don't think I'll take the pill tomorrow and will call the dr. first thing Monday AM. Ideas, suggestions, experiences as nearly every maladie is contraindicated for me and I already walk a narrow line keeping everything in balance and where the drs. are happy??? Joan M, in N. Calif.
