My niece has moved in with us while attending nursing school. I am reading one of her books -- a chapter on wound care. I just read a "blurb" that says that Vitamin A can counteract the effects of steroids (Prednisone). Accutane is a derivative of Vitamin A.

So, is it "possible" that in effect, since Tyson is taking BOTH Prednisone and Accutane -- his body isn't getting the benefits OF the Prednisone -- and THAT is why he is still having full blown MG symptoms??

BTW, I think he is having the bleeding problems because Accutane dries out the skin, nasal, sinus, and throat passages -- but, I am NOT a doctor and IF I am wrong, I would NEVER forgive myself.

Headaches are normal with Accutane -- I had a number of students who took it -- they all complained of headaches. Again, I am NOT a doc -- if I am wrong, I would NEVER forgive myself -- so, take my advice with a grain of salt.

This is the reason I am ALWAYS hesitant to post in Tyson's threads. I do NOT want to say or do anything that might make him risk his life. I do NOT have Annie's expertise or vast knowledge.
