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.

Dexamethasone suppression test
I've had a
dexamethasone
suppression test recently, to check for Cushing's. I don't have many of the signs, but do have central obesity. I didn't get much sleep on the night of the test, and felt a bit jittery on the day.

Advice again please!
Yesterday before we went for chemo she had to take 10
Dexamethasone
6 hours before we went in. When chemo didn't go ahead and we left they said she'd feel a bit hyper due to the steroids she had taken but it would be okay.

A diagnosis
Has given me
dexamethasone
to take. And will see me again in a month. Is this diagnosis anything that should be discussed here, or do I need to find another group? Thanks for everyone's concern and advice in the past.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of having done the
