Valerie Roney<p>Ok hivemind! Looking for dexamethasone mentors. I am just trying the switch from prednisone this weekend. Could use any wisdom learned from those who have gone before. What to watch out for, things to tweak...</p><p>Also all ya'll's prayers and well wishes and waves of good mojo appreciated. I could use a piece of luck that blasts me out if this rut.</p><p><a href="https://disabled.social/tags/prednisone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prednisone</span></a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/dexamethasone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dexamethasone</span></a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/mcas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mcas</span></a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/spoonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spoonies</span></a> <a href="https://disabled.social/tags/cortisol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cortisol</span></a></p>
