JaneC Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Ray, I just had a thought . . . Did they stop your Decadron all at once or did they taper it down? If they stopped it abruptly, that could be enough to really make you feel very, very crappy. I'm just wondering if that could be the cause of you not feeling well and maybe not the Ritalin. Just a thought- Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norme Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Ray, am so sorry you are having a bad time right now with the meds. Hopefully the quality of life will go back to the 8 and move to 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAY A Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. I called my doc and we agreed to go back on 2mg of decadron and with in 1 day I feel so much better I would say almost back to a 8. I dont think 2 mg is a lot of decadron, do you guys? bottom line is im feeling good again. Thanks for all the support. GOD BLESS US ALL.

Remembering Dave Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Ray - I'm glad you're feeling better but am curious if you tapered off the decadron appropriately, sure hope you didn't go cold turkey. also, why are you taking it? do you still have a brain met? for some reason I thought they were all gone. At least you tolerate decadron OK. It makes Dave a raving lunatic. he swears he'll never take it again. God Bless, Karen C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnodel Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Way to go, Ray! Glad you're feeling better. And I hope that you and your doctors will find other things that will keep you feeling good and recovering. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 My Dear Brother Ray, On 7/29/04 you went from being an 8 to being a 0 On 8/1/04 you went from being a 0 to being almost an 8 So, on 8/9/04 I predict that you will be a 10+ so you can help me blow out the candles on my 52nd birthday cake. OKAY??? OKAY!!! Happy to hear your feeling better my dear! Sending you warm and gentle hugs, and continue to say my prayers. Love & Hugs, your Sis Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
