Getting rid of your dog because of immunosuppressants
That would never be an option for me.
I do get close with animals, though I take multiple immunosuppressants. I also did this when I had chemotherapy, but I never - ever had any infections.
I always lived like this, hugging pigs, petting guinea pigs and kissing dogs. I can't imagine how empty my life would be without all this hairy love!
But I guess my immunesystem is just super, super overactive. It just attackes everything, so the good thing about it, is I never get infections or something! I also have been bitting by dogs multiple times.
This is btw one of the reasons why I don't believe in the hygiene theory; that we get auto immune diseases like MG and allergies because we are too clean.
