Windwalker This question has to do with flu shots and prednisone and MAC. I have just been prescribed prednisone oral tablets for a rotator cuff and neck inflammation issue and have read that prednisone will suppress my immune system and can cause vaccinations to actually activate the problem that they are designed to prevent. I wonder if I should be concerned about taking the prednisone. Has anyone been prescribed prednisone while dealing with MAC and a lowered immune system. I am confused about whether to proceed.
Thanks to any and all who can shed some light on this issue.
I had my "first ever" regular flu shot last year and developed problems with dupytrens contracture the next day which comes and goes now and one of my nurses said the same thing happened to her.
