I’m on my first day of dex at 40mg. Tomorrow I’ll take 20. I’m not sure that’s a good taper though. Last week I sufferd on Monday! I felt tired and my legs just don’t want to work. I ended up sleeping most of the day.
I’ll have a blood test Monday to see how I’m doing. I really hope the dex works for me alone, because I don’t want to have to move to DVd. I will if I have to, of course. I just have to hang in until school is done.
This time on dex I am going to eliminate carbs completely. I don’t want blood sugar problems! It’s only for a few days, so I’m sure I can survive. :)
I have a lot of problems with my legs and feet also from the thal. I take 150mg a day. I can’t wear anything other than house shoes now and most foods taste bad. I’ve been on this treatment for over a year now and when I get off my m protein level goes way back up.
