Working on immunosuppressant

Hello. I am an RN with 26 years experience and I was recently dx with polymyositis.  I have been on prednisone 10 mg a day since April and I’m about to start Cellcept,  I am concerned about continuing to work on my unit (orthopedic but float frequently)  and being on immunosuppressants.  Anyone else on this forum taking cellcept and do you still work?

Hi there - hope you are feeling better!  I work with immunocompromised pts and many of them work in healthcare. Cont to use proper PPE, wash hands often, the usual stuff. 

I would of course bring this up with your provider too.
