My friend, who's surgery was 3 weeks before mine, developed sterile meningitis, while tapering too quickly. She had a really rough go of it. She had to taper off 4 times! She now has to wear an emergency bracelet for a year because her endocrine system is messed up from it. If she were in an accident, she might need a shot of adrenaline because her body won't naturally produce it for awhile. I hope he feels better soon. The decadron made my face so fat and I couldn't stop eating! I am so thankful I didn't have to take it any longer than I did. ( 10 days in the hospital and then like 5 days out)
No, Mazie, no pain. Just swimmy headed, difficulty focusing, and what he calls intense pressure.
I hope this time helps Mike! Is he in pain?
Prayers to you and your family that this does the trick.
Mazie :)
I had Decadron w/no problems (I think that's why I felt Great after surgery!). I hope this does the trick too.
