Is it sounds like you might be allergic to the dexamethasone. From you dialogue you seem to get worse after taking more dexadron.

Any chance you are allergic to aspirin or tartrazine (yellow dye in some food and drugs).

I had herceptin and taxotere and recieved dexamethasone day defore and two days following plus benedryl before infusion. Now that I am just on herceptin I no longer get any pre-meds.

Because I am alergic to iodine when I get scans with contrast they make me take decadron and bendrly before hand. I notice I aso was have a red puffy face the next day....since I am also alergic to tartrazine I amwondering if the reaction is from the iodine in the contrast or the dexadron.

maybe there is an alternative steriod?
