Hi @johnnyman Anytime you’re taking prednisone it does have an impact on the body. It lowers the inflammatory response your immune system launches to fight injury or infections and reduces pain and swelling. In doing so it can also impact your immunity function. This then lowers your ability to fight infections.
So while prednisone is a wonder drug to help diminish your PR symptoms you do need to be a little more cautious to avoid illnesses such as covid or the flu. Just use common sense and avoid large groups of people indoors; Following Covid protocol is a good idea. Wear a mask when you’re in public settings, wash hands more frequently, that type of thing.
Does this help answer your concerns?
