I have been taking prednisone since I was 16. Different doses but I have been on 5mg for years. At 5mg I gave no side effects. My liver disease was autoimmune chronic liver disease. I also tale .5mg of tacrolimus 2xa day. Also cellcept 500mg 2 x a day. I am 38 years out from my transplant and still pretty darn good. I am very thankful.
This is really interesting. I had the exact same experience. My vitiligo has not disappeared but has improved dramitically. Vitiligo is due to an auto-immune response so I think the anti-rejection meds must tame down your immune system from attacking the pigment producing melanocytes.
