I am relieved that you are thinking seriously about a leave of absence from college.

There is another serious factor, I forgot to mention before.

Taking high dose prednisone and Imuran, create a reduced immune response. Living in a dormitory, or attending classes where people congregate, exposes you to many types of communicable disease. Community acquired pneumonia, meningitis (both viral and bacterial), flu, Norwalk intestinal virus, food poisoning from dorm dining, Mono (which is VERY common), and the list just goes on. For a person on immunosuppressant therapies, these common illnesses can take a serious turn.

Once you are off the Pred.... you will be more normal I think.

I would get a referral slip from your doctor there at school, so you can continue your IVIG at home. It might just be that the IVIG will be the most useful of what your therapies have been so far.

Good luck.
