Delirium- infection, dexamethasone withdrawal or brain mets?
She had seemed a bit unwell throughout last week (very tired and going to the toilet a lot) but we had put this down to stopping the 2mg of
Dexamethasone
she had been on for about 4 weeks. She had to come off this prior to starting Nivolumab on Wednesday.

how do you fast before Chemo? I have a drug to take that requires food with it "DEXAMETHASONE" ~~
My question is...I have been given a pill to take 12 hours before and 3 hours before(the
dexamethasone
)...and it says to take it with food or milk. I was going to do it with milk. Isn't this going to mess up my "fasting state" I am trying to be in? did you have this issue...???

Prednisone to Dexamethasone
My Rheumy put me on
Dexamethasone
and the fevers left. Since she is just coming into her Practice, I suppose she has had little to do with PMR. Have an appt. with a Seasoned Rheumy in 2 weeks. Even my regular Physician tried to wean me from 4.0mg dex to 0.5mg..In weeks no less.

Cortisol test advice wanted
Hi, I have a cortisol blood test booked for Wednesday morning and the GP has prescribed a low dose of
dexamethasone
to be taken at midnight before the test. Apparently this will avoid any stressors in the morning affecting my result.

Baseline scan
I now get to start injecting not one but two injections per night as well as the reduced dosage of Buserelin and take the
dexamethasone
in the mornings.... My question is now, obviously...what are the side effects of Merional 150iu and Ovaleap 300iu.

Sleep
Just want share a positive thought ,I am now on 2mg of
Dexamethasone
daily and slept last night for a whole 51/2hours .Feeling like a human being at last .Sleep is so important when you are unwell and steroids that supposedly make you better do not allow you access to sleep, how you are meant to feel

Need help, I am very confused
Also lost my left hearing and took direct
dexamethasone
injections in my left inner ear. Now my doctor says he wants to give me Remicade infusion. Is that a treatment of GCA ? Isn't Actemra better for me ?

Promacta/Revolade not working now
:( I got
Dexamethasone
steroids for 4 days and that boosted up counts to 250k. First time in my life counts have gone above 100k so i was very happy. But within a week, count reduced to 50k. So Promacta is not at all working.!!

Platelet drop while on steroids. Is this normal
Hemotologist put me on

4 day and count up to 120000. I then crashed to zero 3 days later. Did another 4 day pulse and went up to 36000 and crashed down to 5000 3 days later. Both crashes while off the
dexamethasone
.

The drugs dont work..... Well prednisolone anyway
Btw I thought this was interesting reading, Prednisolone Vs
Dexamethasone
. It seems like
Dexamethasone
would have been a better choice from the start: http://www.bloodjournal.org/content/early/2015/10/16/blood-2015-07-659656?sso-checked=true

Things I've learned so far about getting through chemo
Take the
Dexamethasone
or Prednisone steroid to help with side effects Try to keep something in your stomach which helps reduce the nausea Drink at least 5 glasses of water a day Get some light exercise every day you are able, but don't push yourself Make sure to get the best night's sleep you can every
