Decadron also lowers your immunity to bacteria. This is how I got walking pnuemonia while taking on Decadron.
I am surprised that your surgeon would let you go as log as 4.5mg / daily. For my brain surgery, they would not allow me to go as low as that. I was on 16mg / daily during recuperation, then went down to 12 mg / daily when I got discharged. I no longer take this, but I hope that I won't have to need this again in the next 3 months for any possibility of edema inducing by radiation seeds, NOT surgery itself.
Cindy, you will be in good hands tmw. Rooting for you! :-)
