Dexamethasone
Has anyone been prescribed Dexamethasone. If so what were your results and side affects. I have read that after the initial dose you don't take it again for two months. My hematologist says he will prescribe this for me if my platelets drop below 30,000. Lowest I've been so far is 36,000.

Hi, I am 57 and, up until last year, have had good health. About this time last year, I noticed that I had lost a lot of strength, and that after about 4pm I would start to stiffen up, this got to the point where I could hardly move my hand from my mouse to my keyboard. These symptoms got worse, and

steroids
Hi there, I am 2 years post oesophagectomy, and I am now on steroids dexamethasone, but I am having terrible rashes on my legs and arms that keep on bleeding. I am on a 2mg daily dose, but the doctor has advised to go to a 1mg daily dose. Has anyone else had a problem with steroids?

The difference between steroids like Dexamethasone and Medrol Dose Pack, plus radiation of lymph nodes behind the trachea.
My cousin's husband is undergoing radiation. They are giving him 13 spot radiation treatments in a few areas. They found some lymph nodes behind his trachea which they are radiating. They also are radiating 3 thoracic vertebrae, 5, 6, and 7. They are doing all the radiation at one time. I have a lot

Suspected Cushing's: High cortisol levels on saliva test, now low cortisol after 8 months on Levothyroxine. Can this happen with Cushing's?
Hi all. For a number of years I've been increasingly ill and earlier this year a doctor suggested I be checked for Cushing's as I have many of the primary symptoms, including huge weight gain around my stomach (despite genuinely eating little food due to nausea), the stria (reddish purple stretch marks

Hi all, 29 yr old female feeling 89 yr old! Been hypothyroid for 8 years and take 125 levothyroxine presently. I seem to have gotten worse over the last year. I've put on 4-5 stone in the past few years and I feel absolutely exhausted now to the point it is having a very negative impact on my life!
