I have had ITP for 5 months and no medications have helped....Prednisone, Dexamethasone (very temporary) Revolade and Rituximab. IVIG ???
Has anyone here been having IVIG infusions on a regular basis (perhaps every three weeks) rather than having a splenectomy?

Water weight gain with Zytiga and dexamethasone.
Anyone being taken off Zytiga due to heart issues? Husband has gained a lot of water weight due to an issue with his heart perhaps caused by the Zytiga. Thoughts?

Continuing discussion of Adaptive Theory-- Why does early chemotherapy result in lower response rates to Lu-177 and immunotherapy??
Would it be better to use SOC plus abiraterone first with prednisone, then change to SOC plus abiraterone with
dexamethasone
next using other options like SBRT for slowing down the adaptation of PCa cells?? Have I stormed the castle, created a hornets nest of controversy today??

Leg Pain
The pain he is currently feeling lies in his legs, they put him on a course of
dexamethasone
and he is currently on a mixture of painkillers, none of which seem to be alleviating the pain. They have just today said they will swap his cocodamol for morphine.

Almost 5 mos. in post-thyroidectomy
The good, bad, and ugly thus far for me: Good: Had Graves, eyes FREAKED out immediately after thyroidectomy, got put on
dexamethasone
for 1 mo., and thank God, they're doing better after that.

Different sick day rules for Covid
I’ve wondered many times , why I was heading into ITU , until I was put on IV
Dexamethasone
. I wasn’t scared either, happy to not feel sick . I improved dramatically within hours , even with pneumonia . One of the staff told the doctors I’d gone from a level 8 to 3 .

Cause of fluctuating Cortisol Results ?
A
Dexamethasone
test results noted suppression down to a cortisol level of 59, still slightly above target, I'm taking the wording from letters at the time, don't profess to fully understand. Endo suggested I was depressed nothing to do with my thyroid.

Help and advice please.
He was prescribed
dexamethasone
and was discharged from hospital 12 days after the event. He was weaned off the
dexamethasone
over the following 3 weeks, that is a week ago now. Since then, he complains of feeling weak and is sleeping a lot during the day.

AMG Clinical Trial Update
I asked them if we could eliminate or reduce the
Dexamethasone
. They reached out to the sponsor and got permission to stop the steroids. It made a big difference in the way I felt. I may have been slightly achier for 24 hours, but it was a great trade.

ITP after COVID vaccine
Prednisone, platelet transfusion, IVIG,
dexamethasone
and now I'm looking at Rituximab. This almost seems worse than CLL!

Dexamethasone and Enzalutamide
They have also prescribed him
dexamethasone
. I have read there is a moderate interaction meaning that it decreases effectiveness of the Enzalutamide. Does anyone know of this and should it be of concern? Thanks as always

Central line insertion
I think I’m a bit spaced out on the
Dexamethasone
so excuse my rambling but I’ve decided on my Mantra today. I’m going to get through this “ON HIGH HEELS AND LIPSTICK 💄”

Any experiences from COVID ICU patients in their 70s? We seem to have a small window left.
He had a course of
dexamethasone
early on in his treatment. He took part in the RECOVERY trial and I think he received convalescent plasma early on. In ICU the first week he was on 80% oxygen, blood pressure meds as it was low. Antibiotics for an additional infection. And was getting proned.

Dad/Heart Risk with ADT. Almost 3 years in PSA good.
He's 75 and I'm trying to get him more active but would
dexamethasone
be better than prednisone? Not sure if a vacation or reducing the Zytiga by 1 is worth it...? He looks unhealthy and both his parents died under 80 of heart and stroke. PC seems to be under control at this time. No Mets.

Post Covid
I upped my Prednisilone from 3mg to 10mg , with a boost of
dexamethasone
whilst in hospital. I know I’m not well enough to reduce from 10mg yet but would be grateful for any advice on getting the dose back down quickly when ready .
