A cozy place to call my own. I've tried blogging on other sites, you know, those "Social Networking" sites, but there is too much other stuff going on.

Dexamethasone Zone Update

Dexamethasone Zone


 


 

I started taking a synthetic steroid July 14, 2009, Decadron, or Dexamethasone, 40mg/day and will take for 5 days.

  • Day one
    • Took first dose around 9:30 am. About 12 hours after taking the first dose I developed a headache. Not sure if it was from the medicine or my son's cologne. Later in the evening, after I went to bed, I still had the headache and felt somewhat nauseous. Also had difficulty sleeping.
  • Day two
    • Took second dose around 10 am. No noticeable side effects other than the fact that my knees feel better, and I am HUNGY!


     

  • Day Three
    • Took third dose around 9:30/10:00 am. Again, knees feel better, extra hunger, but nothing bad.
    • Late in the day began to notice minor vision disturbances.
  • Day Four
    • Took fourth dose around 10:00 am. Noticed much greater visual disturbances today, even before dosing. Knees and other achy joints feel great! Still got this hunger thing going on! Trying to be good and not eat everything in sight!
