Acute Bacterial Meningitis
They are currently giving him doses of Ceftriaxone and Vancomycin (Antibiotics) they are also giving him steroids called
Dexamethasone
to decrease the inflamAtion around the brain. I am very worried as it has been almost 5 days and there is no change in his mental state.

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.

1st week on venetoclax - WOW, not what we expected... Part 2
The plan - my husband was to be re-admitted to hospital and we moved forward with 2nd dose of 50mg, he also introduced a steroid
dexamethasone
(sp?) to help with the breakdown of the nodes and we were going watch till the end of the week and if nothing worked then switch to Idealasib (sp.).

Hashimoto's - Hypothyroid, Insulin resistance
Doctor even did a Cortisol test I had to take a
dexamethasone
pill the night before the test ---- my result was 6.6 with the reference of 6.2-19.4 but prior to that They apparently messed up on the procedure for the same test and had me at 10.2 (reference 6.2-19.4) I just wish I understood this

Do Steroids interact with Thyroxine Meds?
The literature does not spell out any drug interactions between Steroids (
Dexamethasone
) and Thyroxine (Activis Armour NDT) which, I think, probably means "maybe". Now coincidently I had a refill of my thyroid meds just before I hurt my back, that would be about March 1st.

Advice
I have some
Dexamethasone
tablets left over and find that one 2mg tablet taken every three to four days relieves the pain enough for me to work, does this sound like PMR? It does from where I am sitting.

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?

Dexamethasone Suppression Test and Period?
I had a
dexamethasone
suppression test the other week. Has anyone ever had a change in the periods due to taking steroids? I'm not sure if it's related or not... I took the
dexamethasone
on Thursday night and I got my period on 1/7/17 It's 7-10 days early and I'm usually very regular.

The difference between steroids like Dexamethasone and Medrol Dose Pack, plus radiation of lymph nodes behind the trachea.
I do know when my husband did radiation his oncologist initially ordered steroids because of sciatica pain prior to radiation, which turn out to be way too high a steroid of
Dexamethasone
. 4ml, 3 x's a day.

Pulsed Steroids
I am prepared to give this a go. methylprednisolone or
dexamethasone
are the meds in question. More toxic drugs to pollute my temple with. A lot of people in the MS community take Prednisone.

Pain relief for Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer
I was suffering a lot of abdominal pain (I think mainly from tumours pressing on bowel) but this has been really helped by taking pregabalin, oxycodone (4omg slow release and quick release oxycodone (15mg with paracetamol several times a day) and
dexamethasone
(a steroid).

Suspected Cushing's: High cortisol levels on saliva test, now low cortisol after 8 months on Levothyroxine. Can this happen with Cushing's?
but I have become so ill I was somewhat hoping a series of 24 hour urine collections plus the overnight
dexamethasone
test would finally give me an answer and some hope of finally being treated.
