Ideally follow doctors advice as there is relatively little information on this disorder.
One tip. Natural food based Vit A and sunlight rich Vit D will help. If she can sit for 10 to 15 mibs daily in early morning sunlight and have red, orange rich vegrtables and fruits, it will help.
If you can approach a Healer. Some drugless support will helpnboth of you.
Regards.

In fact, both these drugs may cause gastric irritation. When taken together the effect will be still more. So better take them once a week, but on different days like one on Sunday. Another on Monday. But remember, Medrol if taken for long without the guidance of the doctor can be detrimental. So, better be monitored by your treating consultant.

Evans syndrome is a rare disorder in which the body's immune system produces antibodies that mistakenly destroy red blood cells, platelets and sometimes certain white blood cell known as neutrophils. Evans syndrome can potentially cause severe, life-threatening complications. Hence you have to discuss with your physician and gynecologist to take a decision before stopping it.

Women who use corticosteroids (for example, methylprednisolone or prednisone) for acute MS relapsess may continue to use them during pregnancy. The use of prednisone in a woman who is breastfeeding should be carefully monitored.
