Let there be no doubt that the Prednisone is an effective drug but it is going to take some real time, months in fact, to get my leg healed up. Its hard to actually tell but many spots on the top are actually healed but scared. My dermatologist explained to me that they may be 'scaring to significant scaring'. Oh, well there goes my calf/shin modeling career. I didn't care how bad the scars are gonna turn out. I just want this thing out of my life.
My dermatologist has bumped my dosage back up 20mg/day. So, I'm taking 120mg/day again. 100mg wasn't enough. I was developing new sores and old ones were coming back. Screw that!
It seems my dosage is so high that my immune system is being damped out so I am to also take an powerful antibiotic, Bactrim. People with HIV take this drug to prevent sores, opportunistic infections and death. great..
So my immune system is so fucked up that it is attacking healthy tissue so it needed to be toned down to a level that opens me up to opportunistic bugs that I may come into contact with hence forcing me to take yet another drug that is to do the task my immune system seems not willing or able to undertake.
