Dexamethasone - side effects
Posted , 1 user is following.
Looking for advice about Dexamethasone please.
I started being ill Boxing Day - was tested 27th and positive result 28th.
Symptoms were pins needles hand feet, temp, slight cough, no energy, headache.
On NY Day took a turn for the worse and was rushed into A & E by ambulance as I had pain in stomach, back, high temp and was being sick, breathing was shallow.
Long story short, temp went over 41, needed oxygen and steroids. Luckily even though there was talk of ICU I didn't need and came out after 6 days - although I am still quite poorly.
Since then I have good and bad days like most, but yesterday my mood was terribly low, so much so I couldn't stop crying (which is unlike me), and felt really depressed. I look very pale and now have the rash and spots everywhere.
Ive read that Dexamethasone can cause bad mood swings, Mania , and numerous neurological problems - and think i am suffering from these.
I'm no longer on the steroids but wondered how long side effects last.
