Nicky,
Thanks for the info. I stocked up on yogurt a few days ago just to be safe. Let me know what your Neuro says about the preventative antibiotic. The Pulmo put me on it because she was affraid with my lung issues if I caught the flu I would have a hard time fighting it off. I know you also have lung and breathing issues and just wondered if it was standard protocol. The pred has kicked in but the antibiotic is making me feel bad. I really wish I didn't need it so I could enjoy the effects of the pred!!!

Just a bit of FYI, make sure you eat a lot of plain yoghurt and/or take acidopholous because long-term antibiotics kill good bacteria which can cause an overflow of yeast- especially since you're on prednisone too...
I will ask my doc. about the antibiotic...I'm a bit curious now...
Ttys!
