Addison's Patients Are at High Risk of Respiratory Infections and Males with Low Testosterone Levels More Likely to Die From Coronavirus.
I was led down a rabbit hole on Google when researching if taking steroids for Addison's was considered immunosuppressant while completing an NIH "All of Us Research Program" survey on Covid-19. I initially thought that it pertained to those patients with Addison's caused by an autoimmune disorder.

How do I properly use steroid cream for discoid eczema? I had a withdrawal flare-up.
I went to the doctor and she gave me a cream that says “Clotrimazole and
Betamethasone
Dipropionate, 1%/0.05%” on it. I used it twice a day as directed and it worked really well! The small pink circle I had on my chest went away completely.

Need ideas post Xtandi and Zytiga
We had our first telehealth FaceTime call with the local MO yesterday to discuss my husband’s John’s recent bloodwork. He has been on Zytiga with dexamethasone and we knew his PSA was rising. It jumped 5 points in 6 weeks to 15.16 so the doc said to stop Zytiga and dexa and pretty much accept that

Replacing prednisolone with dexamethasone to help Zytiga lower PSA
Hi Everybody out there, could somebody point me to any study where prednisolone was replaced with dexamethasone (while taking Zytiga. Will the switch be likely to make any difference to help lower PSA? Thank you all.

Dexamethasone mouth rinse.
Has anyone taken this? It’s to prevent mouth sores/ulcers in mouth. I just started taking it. Dosage is 4 times each day. Wondering how long to wait between between each dose? I started this yesterday but only had time for 2 doses since I had to wait to take it after taking cancer meds. Today I took

Right L5S1 foraminotomy / Chronic back pain
I underwent surgery in May 2015 for Right L5S1 foraminotomy. I was discharged with dexamethasone for a few days to try and reduce the numbness I had in my right foot and toes, The numbness did not disappear, it got worse and spread. I returned to hospital 2 months later due to new onset reduced sensation

Xtandi and significant back pain
Hello, Looking for feedback from others who have experienced increased back pain while taking Xtandi. My dad recently finished BAT at Hopkins and Dr Antonarakis recommended trying Xtandi again which did not work very long the first time he was on it. He is also on extended release Oxy and dexamethasone

Anyone taking Darolutamide develope asthenia, a known side effect? I've read similar SEs with Xtandi, so is this with all lutamide drugs?
My husband, who is mCRPC started Darolutamide 1 month ago. Shortly after, he started to become more weak in his legs, esp his knees. Last week, after taking Darolutamide for 3-1/2 weeks he suddenly developed asthenia (abnormal physical weakness or lack of energy). I had to run out and buy him a walker

Changed prednisone to dexamethasone with Zytiga; lowered PSA after one month
It's been advised on here by others but I wanted to update for others in our situation--where enza quits working and Zytiga may get a boost from the change. The MO easily agreed to the switch to dexa in January when my husband's psa rose 2+ points to 13.56 on 1/6/20. After using dexa for about a month
