A giant (and careful) hug to you! I'm glad the UofM doctors took all your issues seriously and immediately launched into a plan to get you feeling better. Yes, it is scary to try new medicines and I can only imagine how awkward an O2 tank would be. But hang in there and keep the hope that in a few weeks you will feel like a whole new person!

I go to the rheummy's at the UofM and have always been very pleased with them. But can't blame you for wanting to keep the doctor you've made a connection with too. Maybe just give it some time and see how it works out.

Good luck with all these life-changes and be kind to yourself. It will take awhile to adjust. Give yourself that time.

I would start the pred, then the Imuran, then add the antibiotics a day or two later. See how you tolerate the Imuran first..adding the antibiotics same time, you might not be able to tell whats bothering you, if anything is? just my thoughts...Im no doc.
Sure you will do well with it though. good luck...PM me whenever ok?
