It is Monday January 25, 2016 after our first Blizzard of the Season

This treatment was not too bad- No pain and very little nauseousness. Must be somewhat related to new  drug doctor gave me to take the following 3 days after treatment. Which is mentioned below.  Nancy's energy psychic healing could also still be working.

After getting house in order and eating well and sleeping and  doing body care. Weekend was uneventful. Watched movies and looked up stuff for cruise on ipad.  Lots of help with shoveling thanks to Madison, Brian and Janet.  I got to feed all the birds and sit by the window with my kitties watching them feast. Now getting ready to go to work. Took a little nap before my shower. 

Looking forward to next weekend as many of the extended family that could not come this weekend should be coming for a visit next weekend. Did make sure all my credit cards are paid. Most everything else is automatic debt. Still need to go through all the paper accumulated on my desk though. Maybe tonight. Also need to fix a few broken things in the house. 

so all is well with me. hope all of you made out well also.

Talk more soon. 

Lots of love,

Nancy

Dexamethasone

What this drug is used for:

• As an anti-inflammatory medication.  Dexamethasone relieves inflammation in various parts of the body.  It is used specifically to decrease swelling (edema), associated with tumors of the spine and brain, and to treat eye inflammation.
• To treat or prevent allergic reactions.
• As treatment of certain kinds of autoimmune diseases, skin conditions, asthma and other lung conditions.
• As treatment for a variety of cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.  
• To treat nausea and vomiting associated with some chemotherapy drugs.
• Used to stimulate appetite in cancer patients with severe appetite problems. 
• Also used to replace steroids in conditions of adrenal insufficiency (low production of needed steroids produced by the adrenal glands).

Note:  If a drug has been approved for one use, physicians sometimes elect to use this same drug for other problems if they believe it might be helpful.
How this drug is given:

• This medication may be given to you in many forms. In a pill form, it is available in a variety of tablet sizes.  If you are on a daily dose of dexamethasone (usually less than 10 mg), and you miss a dose, take the dose as soon as you remember. If you are on high doses of dexamethasone (20 mg or 40 mg per day for 4 days out of the month), and you miss your dose, contact your healthcare provider. You may be instructed to repeat the missed dose, and continue the medication.
• Take pills with food or after meals
• This medication may also be given by infusion into a vein (intravenously or IV)
• Dexamethasone eye drops are given to treat or prevent many eye conditions. The eye drops are most commonly given to patients with leukemia or lymphoma, to prevent inflammation of the eyes (conjunctivitis), if you are receiving high dose chemotherapy (usually Cytarabine [Ara-C]). The eye drops are given every six hours, in both eyes, and for at least 48 hours after the chemotherapy has completed.  Do not stop taking these eye drops unless directed by your healthcare provider. 
• You may be given dexamethasone as a lotion (topical) to treat skin disorders. 
• The amount of dexamethasone you will receive depends on many factors, including your general health or other health problems, and the reason you are receiving this drug.  Your doctor will determine your dosage and schedule.
