Sister Passed Away
UpdatedMy sister was taking Prednisone and Nucynta for her Rheumatoid Arthritis and it weakened her immune system. She had only been taking these 2 medications about a year. One day she got strep and it killed her. Within a couple of days of feeling sick, she was rushed the ER and passed away. She died of septic shock. I blame the drugs.

Hello, Diana! How are you? I am so very sorry for your loss.
Steroid class medications, such as Prednisone, can cause suppression of the immune system, along with other side effects, such as weight gain, acne, dizziness and fluid retention.
So, there is a chance that it might have contributed, but I'm not a doctor, so I can't say with certainty.
How are you taking it? Are you okay?
Hi, yes thank you. I'm ok. This was two, almost three years ago but I'm still dealing with it.
I understand, losing a loved one is never easy and while the pain dulls slightly with time, it never really goes away.
I lost my mother 21 years ago, because her doctors missed the fact that she was diabetic and it still hurts, even after all this time.
Huge hugs to you!
Thank u for understanding, she was only 29
Oh wow! How very tragic! That's awful, she was so very young!
How are you doing?
I'm good thx. I just miss her. We're raising her 11 yr old daughter.
So awesome of you! I wish you and your niece all the best and send much love!
