Here we go again! Next stop - private?
Didn't think I was (I have put on a horrible amount of weight since last year 2.5 stone now) I did the
dexamethasone
cortisol test as the Endo wanted to test for Cushings.

What a farce! Here are some results anyway!
I had the
dexamethasone
cortisol test done - which is why I had my bloods done in the morning at my surgery as I had to take the tablets at midnight.

So it's not Cushings! (no surprise there)
So I got my bloods done last week and I had the test done for Cushings with the overnight
dexamethasone
test.

high cortisol..Can anyone advise?
If Cushings syndrome is suspected, consider overnight 1mg
dexamethasone
suppression test. A common cause of elevated cortisol in women is the use of exogenous oestrogen (eg CCP, HRT)" I was using HRT but finished about 3-4 months ago. What is CCP?

Todays endo visit
He has ordered loads of bloods, including TPO, and a
dexamethasone
overnight test for cortisol. He has also ordered an endoscopy as he can see no reason for my iron being so low (not looking forward to that, had one before!) I see him again in 4 months.

Has anyone had eight months of treatment using Rituxan and Treanda (bendamustine)
Treatment began using Leukkeran (chlorambucil)
dexamethasone
and allopurinol. Had 5 treatments from October 2007 to February 2008. WBC started increasing so treatment stopped. Back to W&W. In July 2008 began treatment using Rituxan and Cytoxan.

Hi there, introducing myself...
I started treatment with VAD chemo, but recently switched to Bortezomib and
dexamethasone
... Would be nice to read about similar MM journeys!

New endo appointment and new blood results - help appreciated :)
He's asking my GP to do the
dexamethasone
test so they'll probably say no and I'll have to trek back to London for it! Anyway what I did like was that he said that 1 in 10 people don't feel well again on Levo (he's the first person that has ever admitted that!!!)

Introducing Myself
In the past, I have been teated with Revlimid, Velcade, Kyprolis, Pomalyst and the ever popular,
Dexamethasone
. Currently, I am in a clinical trial taking Panobinostat, MLN9708 and Dex. We hope to get my numbers down so that I can proceed to a RIC Allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Steroid- induced dementia? Cerebral vasculitis? Auto-immune?
He was put in steroids (
Dexamethasone
) back in April to get swelling down around tumour in brain before starting chemo pill (Iressa) a couple of weeks later. A month later and he is back to normal, active, as happy as can be expected etc.

Sorry another question lol, has anyone had success with anti D immunoglobin or WinRHo?
High pulse
dexamethasone
is losing its efficacy so my next emergency treatment is anti d immunoglobin. Has anyone tried it, what are the side effects and has it worked for anyone? Tbh I'm so fed up with ITP even if it lasted a few weeks I would be over the moon.

Travelling by plane and low platelets? Does a menstrual cycle lower platelets?
After three pulses of high dose
dexamethasone
, my platelets have crashed once again, down to 20. However my petechiae is looking a bit redder and spreading a bit and I've started my period since then so Im wondering if its decreased further due to this?
