pretty well thanks. i weigh around 240 lbs. so the dosage is pretty spot on. bear in mind, this started at 5mg and increased at 5mg/5 days to a max of 60 mg.. prednisone IS an immunosupressant. that is it's role in mg therapy according to my neuro. we've been over the pros and cons of steroids and the benefits for now, outweigh the risks. it won't be fun or easy but i'm told there are SOME long term gains to be had and less chance of crisis down the road. my neuro said his biggest concern was crisis prevention for the first year after dx. he has lots of experience treating mg so i trust him implicitly.
