so i have been going to vanderbilt for blood work every two weeks, and they have been decreasing my prednisone after each lab results. were trying to get completely off of the steroids. But for the past month or so my all of my levels have been going up by one point each time as well as my MELD score. so they have stopped the prednisone decreasing for now, and hopefully ill be able to start decreasing again when i go back on the 19th. since the return of being seen in clinic, i have been put on a new regimen of medicines.
