dex update

[camackin]

I had been taking dex for about 5 months starting last fall and it went really well at first. it really got rid of all the swelling in the belly, which helped with pain and discomfort. It also gave me a lot more energy. But after a while I started to loose too much weight on it because I had no appetite and it make me feel a little sick to my stomach. So I haven't taken it for about 6 months and I've been trying different pain medications. But lately I've been having more swelling and inflammation in my belly so I'm going to try going on it again but only 5mg (i was taking 10 - 15mg a day before).

My doctor did say something interesting about taking amphetamines a while ago though. It is a really low dose, but it speeds you up and gives you artificial energy, and after a while (months?) your body might start to get fatigued on it. I think that was the case with me especially because I wasn't eating enough.

Anyway I'm hoping I can start it again and not feel too nauseous. I was thinking maybe every second day.

Take care everyone

Whatever you do with the doses or timing of your medicine (like every 2nd day), please make sure your doctor knows, ok?

I hope the medicine is helpful & you feel better soon,
