The surgeon backed me off the decadron from 16mg/day to 4.5/day....I was starting to go nuts!!!!! I can feel the difference already. Bloodwork showed an elevated glucose level of 230......so I see another doc about that today. I do have diabetes in the family, but my suspicion is that the steroids and chemo have had an effect on my ability to regulate insulin. I have an excellent diet and exercise regularly. I shaved my head last night....ahhhhhhhhhhhh, feels good! Two weeks on steroids also shot my blood pressure to 130/110, it was always normal before.
