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. Helped for a maybe 3hrs from my initial dose at 6 PM yesterday, but when it came to sleeping, I feel like a Jackson Browne song, "Running on Empty".

Dexamethasone - Can Side Effects Appear After Any Dosage Or Time Period Using This Drug?
I was prescribed 32 mg (16 mg each time) of dexamethasone from June 12th through the 19th, for the first time. This was also after a course/dose pack of methylprednisolone. By the morning of July 5th my feet (and hands, somewhat) were swollen and by the end of the day, my ankles, too.

Oh no! I can't function at all! Any kind of movement only amplifies the throbbing!
