Timing To Take Steroid?
My neurologist finally put me on a steroid, after deciding I need something stronger for my 'Status migrainosus' that started 9 days ago. I take Dexamethasone (4mg) 2x a day.

I'm only in 30s- yes my vision in my left eye has been bad since I had a rare form of cancer as a child and had a tumor behind that eye, but I'm using 3 computer monitors everyday doing accounting work, which has affected the vision in my right eye.
