Hi there
I’m hoping you can give me some guidance. I am struggling with being in a cycle of being on predisone then getting an infection over and over again.
I have eczema and asthma and this all started with a bad bought of asthma. I was prescribed prednisone to decrease the inflammation in my lungs. About a week after finishing the prednisone I got cellulitis on my face. I was treated for this then got another lung infection. Over and over this story goes and each time I get an infection it becomes more and more severe. Every month with the exception of one I have had an infection and prednisone. This year I have had 8 cases of cellulitis, one case of candidiasis infection in my ear, ear infection, cellulitis on my nose and shingles. As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating and exhausting. I live in Canada and I know I am caught in a cog in the healthcare system here. I am more than willing to pay and travel to the US to get this issue resolved. I can not keep living like this. I have no idea where to start though. Any advice you can provide would be so aprecciated.
Thank you for your time. Theresa.
