Just wondered if anyone has had any fluid type swelling with this...neck armpits etc...almost fluid like..

many thanks.

pred definitely makes me retain fluid. When I am on higher doses I sometimes take diuretics, coz it starts annoying me.

how you doing Christine, have you finished your cyclo yet ?

cheers

geesh, they are being meanies - often if it is the last treatment in a series they will just cancel it if the wbc's are too low. My wbc's were always so crashed out by the end of the series of treatments they always had to flag the last treatment altogether. Suited me, I hate the stuff muahahaha.

hope you get shot of the nasty stuff very soon

hugs
