question about Decadron
I dont know whats happening, but after being on Armour for 14 days -9 days out of those my temp. is below the 97.7 of which is low. My b/b is up and down and heart rate. I feel ok when I get up for an hour and then start getting hyper again, and have taken medicine an hour before rising. 60mg and I split the dose-am and pm. By pm I am still hyper and take dose and start to calm down the rest of the night. I was feeling better after doctor decreased from 90mg to 60mg for few days, now this again. Plus my eyes are worst, both swelling and hurt bad,worst than before~! Reported symptoms and said to come in if I wanted for an injection or Decadron- a steriod for the inflammation. Never had one before, only Predisone 40mg for 8 days orally and had to stop as thought I was having reaction, shortness of breath, heart rate up. What do you think? I am afraid of it, but eyes hurt so bad will almost try anything! anyone else had the injection? Its used for many things but suppresses the imune system, so I am a bit concerned. I am told to cut armour in half now and see how I feel. Dont think it will make a difference, as I suspect I am still hypo going by temps. Any comments would be apprecitate.

Spoke with the doctor today and he said don\'t take any Armour over the weekend and call Monday to see how I feel. I felt terrible again today. I have been chewing up my pill and swallowing with glass of water to get it absorbed better and into the bloodstream. This is what I have read that many persons do to help. Maybe I shouldn\'t do this, suppose, just swallow pill without chewing? Would that make a difference and cause hyper symptoms? It would be absorbed more slowly that way.
I feel like my eyes are starved for nutrients. They used to look bright and clear, now dull and lifeless.
Ellymae, I am sorry you are feeling unwell at the moment, but things will get better and keep that in mind. My eyes are the same, and I have some awful cloud like floaters. Try and take your mind of things when you can with a nice movie and good food and some pampering.
Will be seeing the eye specialist soon.
