Default Blood test to monitor pregnisone
Should I be getting routine blood test to monitor any pregnisone side effects like low White blood cell count? I already self monitor my sugar and my GP checks my cholesterol every 3 months. Is there anything else, I should be doing?

thanks
kathie

Kathie I would only add a bone density test to what your already monitoring. Also you should supplement with vitamin D and calcium when on prednisone, this will help with your bone health and help hold off osteoporosis.
