I had a dip in my lung function which can be an indicator of rejection. I had a biopsy done and none was found, but we’re doing a massive steroid treatment just in case, which can often beat rejection back. I’ve had this done twice, though not since 2017 I think
60mg of prednisone is a big dose. I’m taking 750mg for three days (intravenously) then tapering down over time.

Prednisone or methylprednisolone? Methylprednisolone is about 25% more potent.
I wonder why they choose either of those vs something like dexamethasone which has better anti-inflammatory properties and lasts longer. Also, less mineralocorticoid (electrolyte, etc) effect.
That was my go-to drug during neuro cases to prevent swelling.
By the way, gettin' hungry?

You know, I haven’t noticed an effect on my apppetite. But I made a change to my eating habits to help regain the muscle mass I lost during Covid. 2.5 years of gym time after a year off didn’t do it by itself, it wasn’t until I started eating A LOT more protein that I noticed effects.
A high protein diet (~1g/lb of body weight) requires me to eat 4 or 5 meals a day. Hard to go up much from there.

I don't know what any of this means, but I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way, like I know everyone is in their own way. Are you going through this due to test results, or are you experiencing pain? That's none of my business, but just asking from a friend, virtual friend at that.
