Well, giving you more Pred would make an infection worse.

Yeah, any infection will make MG worse. So will an increase in Pred!!! What did they say to do about that? Go back down?

Be on the lookout for a secondary infection like clostridium difficile. I'm going to be gross . . . if your stools become runny or look yellow or "puffy," go back in. That little infection is life-threatening. If you do get it, ask for the Vancomycin instead of the Flagyl (if you want to).

I got folliculitis while on Pred too. They gave me an antibiotic and then I got C-Diff. It may not happen to you but just in case it does, you have the info.

Keep a close eye on yourself and your MG. Good thing you aren't on the East coast, given how hot it is.
