Things I've learned so far about getting through chemo

Take the Dexamethasone or Prednisone steroid to help with side effects Try to keep something in your stomach which helps reduce the nausea Drink at least 5 glasses of water a day Get some light

Platelet drop while on steroids. Is this normal
Newly diagnosed ITP . Hemotologist put me on dexamethasone 4 day and count up to 120000. I then crashed to zero 3 days later. Did another 4 day pulse and went up to 36000 and crashed down to 5000 3 days later. Both crashes while off the dexamethasone. Hemotologist put me on 50 MG prednisone daily and

The drugs dont work..... Well prednisolone anyway
I went back to the Haematologist last week knowing things could only get worse, I felt great and had no symptoms (of ITP, thanks to prednisolone I'm writing this at 4:46am). Sure enough my count had dropped to 11 (from 25) and they were getting nervous. They did another blood test at the clinic (normally

Hi all, I have been reading posts daily to try to understand how to read test results before my next hospital appointment with a consultant. I have a family history of thyroid problems. My mum had Graves and had her gland removed and my sister had Hashi and also had her gland removed. I have suspected

Asthma Solution
Keeping with the normal dose of Prenisalone is helpful to keep asthma in control. But it would make you cramp to your hands and feet nervous systems. Especially when you take shower. Therefore I would recommend to take Dexamethasone instead of Prenisalone. Also Acintromycin would help

Out of ideas
I've been dealing with high cortisol for the several years (possibly more) and cannot seem to get it under control any means. My last salivary cortisol is the highest it's ever been (will list figures below) and my sleep is now seriously impaired. I'm sick of being told it's "stress", I'm unable to

MRI results
Prior to my daughter's MRI of her hips, dexamethasone was prescribed by her primary because her pain and swelling was worsening. Steroids worked. However, MRI showed negative for arthritis. She has multiple symptoms pointing to arthritis and I would like to know if dexamethasone can alter MRI scan.

Dexamethasone
Has anyone been prescribed Dexamethasone. If so what were your results and side affects. I have read that after the initial dose you don't take it again for two months. My hematologist says he will prescribe this for me if my platelets drop below 30,000. Lowest I've been so far is 36,000.

Hi, I am 57 and, up until last year, have had good health. About this time last year, I noticed that I had lost a lot of strength, and that after about 4pm I would start to stiffen up, this got to the point where I could hardly move my hand from my mouse to my keyboard. These symptoms got worse, and

steroids
Hi there, I am 2 years post oesophagectomy, and I am now on steroids dexamethasone, but I am having terrible rashes on my legs and arms that keep on bleeding. I am on a 2mg daily dose, but the doctor has advised to go to a 1mg daily dose. Has anyone else had a problem with steroids?
