Is the fluey feeling, with prickly skin that I get every afternoon from PMR or prednisone?
I react badly to pred: had to have chemo stopped (
dexamethasone
). Am on 8 mg: still very stiff shoulders and hips each morning; very fluey, unreal, skin funny all afternoon. Good and normal after 6 pm. I take my pred: 6 mg at 3 am; 2 mg at 11. It is better than all at once.

Just after starting the infusions which included
dexamethasone
&methylprednisolone my daily glucose jumped to the high 400's low 500's. My PCP put me on Tresiba (degludec) insulin.

Advice sought: on four day high dose dexamethasone
I'm about to start four days of 40mg
dexamethasone
. Any advice as to how to best deal with this drug experience would be appreciated. What should I eat, not eat, do, not do? I really don't like speedy drugs but I'm hoping this will knock my platelets back into line.

dexamethasone
. Hes been on them for about 3 months. They are now taking him off of them over 4 weeks.. hes 2 weeks in. Why is this? Can patients not stay on
dexamethasone
long term? Its like they want him to get worse.. lose his dignity completely and ultimately die :(

High Dose Dexamethasone Pulse Treatment
Hello Everyone, As I stated earlier, I am newly diagnosed with ITP. I see most of us have had disappointing results with various treatments. I originally had a Count of 15 with no other symptoms except petechiae on my legs. My hematologist put me on a 4 day course of DEX 40mg per day x 4 days. After

Some questions answered, some answers questioned, and Chemotherapy scheduled.
Medical Oncologist-- "you have been on therapy- radiotherapy then
dexamethasone
which is a hormonal therapy and clinically you have done well. No protocol would allow you to enter since you had no signs of progression. That is great!

Wherever the evidence leads…
Does it work alone (mono therapy) or must it be combined with other things such as antibiotics or
dexamethasone
or Vitamin D or zinc or whatever? Are there contraindications? All these questions should be carefully answered assuming you have the luxury of time.

SST SYNACHTEN TEST
Take
dexamethasone
pills in the evening and test morning cortisol… I always thought this test is made in the morning one measure, injection, second measure. Can I trust an option with the pills? If it’s not worth it I would not bother making it and search for an injection version.

Feeling Conflicted
For reference, my dad is on Zytiga (since 2019) with
dexamethasone
(he switched from prednisone to
dexamethasone
halfway through 2020). Any insight is appreciated, thank you.

The current status on third Pfizer COVID Booster
So I decided to start on
dexamethasone
Saturday evening along with amoxicillin and promptly began to markedly improve. (4 mg
dexamethasone
twice daily.) such a relief! https://www.practiceupdate.com/c/121617/3/1/?

Preparation for Treatment Decisions 90 Days after Immunotherapy Stopped.
The week before last, I exercised moderately a few times, stopped the
Dexamethasone
, and then tried to cut down the Oxycontin ER last Thursday with the intention to stop. I experienced a good deal of pain in my back last Thursday night, and it took a few days to get it back under control.

Try a Little Dexie !
If you are taking Prednisone for any reason see if your doctor will substitute
Dexamethasone
instead. they perform the same function but the
Dexamethasone
also can restore your apatite, relieve moderate pain, and generally make you feel better..It's worth trying..

CAR-T follow-up at City of Hope for Prostate Cancer to Bone
Dr calmed it down with an IV10 of
dexamethasone
and another drug. Clinical Trial central almost recommended killing all the T-cells and pulling the plug on my COH trial. Glad they didnt do that. This is my only hope. I have no other options.

Zytiga with Dexamethasone or with Hydrocortisone?
The question is: My father should keep using 1000 mg zytiga + 0.5mg
dexamethasone
or switch from 0.5mg Dex to 30mg hydrocortisone.

2WW, here we go again
I had buseralin, 300 menopur, 300 gonal f and
dexamethasone
daily. A lot, but it was our best cycle yet. Ended with 1 grade A, 1 grade B and 1 grade C. I had the A transfered and B and C in the freezer. However i now feel like its history repeating itself.

Dexamethasone 0,5mg or 1mg?
His doctor asked him continue Zytiga + Prednisone for 1 month but we don't think it work and would like to switch to Zytiga +
Dexamethasone
. However, we wonder if he should take 0.5mg or 1mg
Dexamethasone
.

A non-blog update
My daily dose of oxycodone has tripled, I've started on gabapentin, and am currently increasing my dose of
dexamethasone
. Still, I have several hour periods where the pain in my leg breaks through it all and I'm left screaming and crying in pain.
