It stinks!

Hi Angela,

Just 2 weeks ago, I weaned myself off the decadron...alleluhia! Only very bland foods tasted good to me and, yes, my stomach was extended. As long as you're not having symptoms (i.e. headaches, nausea), I would race off the decadron as quickly as you can. Even after 2 weeks, my sense of taste is messed up, but the abdominal pains are gone.

Best of luck! Hang in there!
