          In light of all this, are they going to change your daily meds?

            I doubt it. I'm already on a daily prednisone dose of 5mg, so that will change for a while.

              OIC. Knowing nothing about pharmacy, I thought maybe part of your regimen was to protect against precisely the kind of invasion that put you in the hospital this time.

                They found the likely source of my issues from a sputum culture. They think it started with a parainfluenza virus (which Dr. Google tells me is not flu) with the bacterial pneumonia as a later add-on.

                Because of that they are canceling the bronc. I'll probably go home today with a prednisone taper and a script for ribavirin.

                Ok, I was overconfident. They want to check me tonight to make sure the anti-viral doesn't do bad things. Almost certainly I'll leave in the am.

                    Prednisone always mad me want to crawl along the ceiling. I suspect you don't have that issue - but glad you're doing well.

                        You missed your real chance. When I was in acute rejection they gave me 750mg daily, straight in the vein.

Most of it is (literally?) greek/latin to me.

                                Yes. Our public institutions (well, CDC and to a lesser extent FDA) came out of this with lesser reputations that they had going into it. But Pharma came out enhanced. (to be fair, NHS was enhanced too but far less visibility to John Q Public)

                                  I am not sure that it is so much a case of those institutions having a reduced reputation as them having been overestimated to begin with. They are both bureaucracies and as such not much given to being nimble or prescient. Both depend on data that takes time to develop, and both are to some degree beholden to prevailing political winds.

                                    You start tying some people down at 1000mg on up.

                                    OTOH, you're probably used to being tied down...

                                          I’m home since yesterday.

                                          Feel great. I would have even gone to the gym today but I was so busy catching up with stuff.
