I'm no doctor, but it sounds like this acute phase came on suddenly?

There might be a medicinal cause to this crisis...maybe the immunotherapy and the steroids.

Steroids are a necessary evil. They are a wonder drug, but they can cause a lot of problems too.

Try to stay positive...I've weaned off steroids many times, and personally, they turn me into a different person, both physically and mentally. I'm hoping that things turn around for him once he is weaned off them.

It's a good sign that his creatine levels are improving!

Your hubby sounds like a great guy and a wonderful man...I'm wishing you both the very best.
