i was on prednisone they took me off it and put me on dexamethesone
5mg 2in the morning and 1 at night . i can also double my dose if i
really need it. i feel like im coping with it at the moment. im also

that is a sign of the tablets are not working or suitable. i have
only got to forget my tablets i can feel myself going down hill
quick. joy.
