Steroids help low responders ( success story)
Just to be clear-
dexamethasone
is much stronger than prednisone so 0.5 mg of
dexamethasone
corresponds to 20mg of prednisone ( so this was quite strong dose of steroids).. I took it during the stimulation and 2WW.

Question regarding dexamethasone eye drops
I wonder if someone can help me, I’ve just had cataract surgery last Thursday, all is well but I’m just wondering if
dexamethasone
eye drops 6 x daily for 2 weeks and then 4 x daily for another 4 weeks will affect my prednisolone intake, I’m taking 5mg and having headaches, I’m due to see the rheumatologist

Dexamethasone transition - process?
As a follow up to my last post, our MO has prescribed 0.5mg of
dexamethasone
to be taken with Zytiga. That's miracle #1! Miracle #2 is that we got an appointment with Dr. Deanmeade at Johns Hopkins to discuss BAT.

Switch of corticosteroids from prednisone to dexamethasone
I understand a switch of corticosteroids from prednisone to
dexamethasone
to halt or slow growth, which happens in a majority of cases, is particularly beneficial to those with lower PSA at the switch, and give longer mCRPC -free survival.

Proposed Increase in Dexamethasone Dosage for a Brain Tumour
I'm currently on four 2 mg tablets per day, they are planning to increase this to aid my walking and mobility . What are the likely impacts/short or long term & what is the maximum dose? Should I go for the increased dose? Any comments/advise would be very welcome

Rituximab, given weekly for 4 weeks experiences?
This will include
dexamethasone
with the treatment to reduce any allergic reactions. I know each treatment is different for everyone, but I am wondering what it was like for folks. Thank you!

Paclitaxel Acute Pain Syndrome
It was up in the day Saturday when I finally got some Gabapentin and
dexamethasone
. I am now pain free just week as a kitten. Scott did the research and found out about the pain syndrome. It is apparently not terribly uncommon. Be on the lookout.

Post rituximab drop in immunoglobulins
I had severe platelet and neutrophil levels at diagnosis, and they did not recover until 4 days of high-dose
dexamethasone
after my eighth rituximab infusion. I am now back in mild neutropenia and my immunoglobulins have dropped below the lower limit of normal. Have othes seen this?

The infusion was stopped,
dexamethasone
, a steroid was added, my immune system calmed down and the slow drip began again.

Lumbar nerve impingement
After
dexamethasone
and oxycodone, the intense pain went away. My body seemed to compensate by tightening muscles on the left side of the lumbar. This shifted pain and weakness to my left leg, with bad pain where the outer quadricep attaches to my outer knee.

Interesting post from another site.
Prednisolone is approximately four times more potent than cortisol but only one seventh as potent as
dexamethasone
. Prednisone appears to be well absorbed and converted to active drug, prednisolone. © prednisone: tried by 1561 members

Update on dad: no chemo yet!
But from what I know, he’s been on prednisone, Zytiga,
dexamethasone
, hormone injections, radiation, etc. His PSA was at bay for many years until the past year where it very slowly started to creep back up.

Next Move
My first thought is to switch to
dexamethasone
from prednisone and see if I can extend the Zytiga's effectiveness for a little while longer. Next thought was Xofigo due to having just bone mets at this time. Provenge a maybe,but haven't heard of great results from this group.

Natural alternatives to dexamethasone/steroids for anti-nausea prior to chemo?
It’s routine they give
dexamethasone
prior to I/v chemo for nausea. I don’t want steroids. Does anyone else have suggestions for other meds/natural alternatives? TIA x

Steroid use in Glioblastoma Battle
However, I spoke to the GP and we upped his
Dexamethasone
dose from 4mg to 6mg a day and it was like a new man had appeared. He is out of bed for 7 hours a day now, has taken quite a few steps with the zimmer and is talking more and wants to try and use a toilet again.
