Taking Prednisone For Idiopathic AIHA. How Long For Prednisone To Work?
Hello, I have warm type idiopathic AIHA. I am currently on 60mg prednisone per day to try and treat it. It has been three weeks on the drugs and I have been back to the hospital for two blood transfusions as my numbers go up after the transfuions, then seem to drop. Two questions: How long will it take for the prednisone to work (my numbers are on their way down again 103 sunday, 96 yesterday) Will having my period affect my numbers (as I m expecting it soon). Will my numbers drop faster?
