He has only been on prednisone for about 4 weeks. He takes 40mg daily and also takes 180mg slow release mestinon. He has not had an IVIG or plasmapheresis. I will tell him that he might want to ask his doctor about getting an erythrocyte sed rate and checking his D-Dimer. Son appears to drink plenty water, but I will remind him of its importance.

You are correct. His doctor will probably be the only one who can figure this out. Sometimes it is a little frustrating because the ER felt like his neuro should take a look at his meds, but the neuro didn't want to change anything at this time and thought Son needed to see his family doc and get bp medicine to lower his bp. It had been elevated during his neuro appointment. We don't feel like that is a good idea because of the bp fluctuation and wouldn't want him to bottom out.

Thanks for the advice and certainly hope you are feeling better, Annie. I will continue praying for your health.
