| Feb 15, 2023 at 18:48 | comment | added | Ckapo | Thank you for your response which has been super helpful. We’ve decided to start a two week course of interferon injections combined with replacement of steroids with anti inflammatory medication to stop suppressing the immune system and let the interferon work. My main concern is that the anti inflammatory pills of 25mg are less powerful than the steroids but will be given at a higher frequency (3 times a day). The problem with that is that he only eats twice a day. | |
