I am not sure what to think, but I do believe is because of the Ivig infusion and
decadron
that I had in March for first time ever, just one treatment ever and stopped. please help me if you have any information regarding this issue.

Friend in need of help
Doctors at the hospital recommended the following: IV
Decadron
4mg 4x/day which started on 1/3' Bicalutamide 50mg once a day for 14 days Lupron after 2 weeks No surgeries due to his age. He is high risk for paralysis. He set up an appointment with an Oncologist for 1/15.

I’ve been diagnosed March 10 with Arterial Arteritis by my hematologist. It’s complicated.
Speech goes, eye drops. ( I went to neuro for TIA symptoms.) was given infusion of
decadron
. The problem is no one is actually treating. I have a call into my rheumatologist, and opthomologist explaining the urgency. No calls back. I have an emergency work in with my GP next week.

bombing a flare
When excruciating sciatica sent me to the emergency room several years ago, I was administered 20mg of dexamethasone (
Decadron
) to cut the rampant inflammation, which provided relief within an hour. That was followed by a Medrol pack for the next week and, with exercise, I got over the sciatica.

Tachycardia?
As a follow-up to my last post about seasonal allergies and medication, my doctor gave me an injection of
Decadron
and Depo-Medrol (cortisone) for allergies.

Change in plans - looks like neuroendocrine
Two weeks later, I had a second reaction despite additional precautions (oral
decadron
3 days prior, IV Benadryl and
Decadron
immediately prior to chemo, half flow-rate of chemo), and this time, in only 5 minutes. I was told that if they restarted the chemo, I would stop breathing (anaphylaxis).

Failed Chemo 101
On the second dose, I had the same reaction only 5 minutes in, even with reduced flow rate and additional
Decadron
3 days prior. Needless to say, I washed out of the trial as not tolerating the Docetaxel.

Meds that exasperate RLS
They gave the the “migraine cocktail” that consists of Toradol,
Decadron
, Benadryl, and Compazine. I don’t know what was worse... the headache or RLS. I suffered for 2 nights until it was out of my system. From here on out, I will refuse any meds that’s on the no-no list!

Keytruda
His brain MRI is finally stable, and his dose of steroids is at 1.5mg
decadron
(10mg prednisone equivalent). We literally have the chemotherapy in his night stand, but are holding off to try Keytruda to see if it will work. We are very happy with this.

Trucking along
Stupid steroids.... has to be lower than 1.5mg of
decadron
a day. He’s down to 3mg a day. Next drop will be .5mg 3 times a day which will put him at 1.5mg. I don’t know if oncology is happy about me pushing this hard but we have known for a long time chemotherapy isn’t curative.

Whine whine whine
Every treatment I receive taxol, aloxi,
decadron
,benadryl and pepcid. Every third treatment I receive the aforementioned as well as carboplatin and either the placebo or the trial drug, atezolizumab. I had grown my hair very long in the past few years.

Stopping Braftovi Mektovi targeted medications
Continuing low dose steroid (
decadron
, 2 mg twice a day) to help fatigue and nausea (but has caused thrush, so taking clotrimazole troche lozenges to help because oral fluconozole is a "don't use" drug with Mektovi/ Braftovi combo). Continuing with IV hydration twice a week.

Here we go again
How can
decadron
not work? That’s the toughest steroid they have. I literally don’t understand and can’t find an answer as to why it is not working.. I’m just frustrated, sad, and feel like time is running out and I couldn’t be more upset. I want to fix it. And I can’t..

Side effects this time around.....
Ryan has to be on
decadron
for the brain swelling; which is causing rapid weight gain and swollen limbs. Ironic. And he’s depressed and irritable to the point where I throw up my hands and just say I don’t know. He says he doesn’t want to mess up anyone else’s mood so he just isolates.
