Re: Need input on Decadron vs. Boswellia
Joyce, for me after about 2-3 weeks I needed daily naps and overall when the radiation was done it took me 3-4 months to start to get back to taking only naps every other day or shorter naps. Yes this does vary widely, she needs to rest but she needs to get up and around to keep her body from wasting away, plus it is good mentally to be "entertained" by others if she physically is not feeling well. Puzzling with others builds core strength and helps with focusing, multitasking by talking while puzzling and keeping fingers and wrists moving.
