Thanks a lot for all of your resoponses. Your probably right, I might have to go on Decadron again. Maybe, they can taper the dose. All I remember is last time I took it, I felt so hyper, couldn't sleep for 3 weeks and I felt physicaly terrible. I also landed in the hospital for 5 days. However, I don;t think it was from the decadron. Even though they never were able to pinpoint the cause. But after putting me on antibiotics, my fever wasgone. I must have had some kind of infection. The neurosurgeon doesn;t think to think edema is bad or can cause me major problems, but when I get these headaches in my temples and this pressure in my head, I just have to wonder. God bless you all! I'll keep you informed as to what happens. I start my radiation for my lung met for 3 weeks next Monday. Hope I don't get side effects from that. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
