Dex addict or getting better or worse confused
Hello to everyone on this forum. I thought to subscribe and give a life experience while I was long time on this medication. I started this med since I have had a cough for several months and I mean a cough that no other medication like antiviral or antibiotic was helping to get rid off it. I couldn't tolerate and was getting worse. After taking Dexa good news the cough has gone for good, but a bucket of sh....t worsening strange conditions I got back from Dexa. I call it the Evil drug. Makes me better for one thing and gives me back a million bad things. So before I go any further i would like to intriduce myself and say that i am a woman of 45 y.o. have been to Uni and got diploma in Law, Psychiatry and was a grammar teacher before came to UK. I am a pretty strong whealed person and never got hooked so badly on anything like a medication or other strange things in life. But Dexa got me!!! So after taking Dexa and had few issues with myself i gone to study every little and big article about Dexa. Just to say in a short few sentences that Dexa is an immunity modulator and is created to resurrect people from near death, if sufferings are excruciating the doctors believe this drug should better wake you up and bring back from being dead, but the side effects are forgotten, you will deal however you can after that. So to say Dexa suppress your immunity, what that mean? It means that Dexa has a way of modulating your immunity or changing it for the time being and making you better. This modulator works wonders. Before our Hypothalamus in our brains is an other important gland which activates it's function. So Dexa access that gland which is a bit similar to Hypothalamus and works on your hormons which deal with food drinks etc. By doing that we get hungry eat better, our brain focus on enjoyment of food and so our immunity gets better hence we get positive for a short "now" time and get better. In some articles I found it was said that it is not recommended to be vaccinated for at list couple of months after taking Dexa. As your immunity respond still to that medication. And the vaccin won't work the way is ment to work. Before Dexa which i call it life before Dexa and life after Dexa I was a walking skeleton really like a stick. And I never was enjoying any foods. I could go hungry for weeks. So after starting for about a week or so being on Dexa I felt soooo good that I have never felt like this in years. I was eating lots. I actually was thinking of food as soon as I was waking up from the bed. I was driving and eating, I was cleaning and eating, I was doing whatever else and eating full stop and drinking like an animal. I put on a bit, I got a better body. Actually as a woman I got so beautiful! My brests were bigger, I soon changed from an A cup to a DD cup. My but got round. And I was remaining still slim. My husband couldn't keep his eyes off me. I was on a cloud 9 as they say. Everyone was mentioning how beautifully I became. I suddenly felt I could deal with everything in my life, all the house chors and the cats (i am breeding rare exotic cats) and working as a beautician from home and felt as I have a greater amount of energy than before. But all of the sudden one day boom! I couldn't come of the bed. While i made terrible fuss of myself I did come on my legs to find out that I couldn't stand properly because of a terrible back pain I mean it one real bad pain that kept me frozen. I hardly was moving, I was stepping so slow that I believe I needed a walking stick to help me moving to the WC and back. It was so terrible that I couldn't lift my hands up and down. My husband took me shopping in this state (well I must say that I am athlet in real life and no one has ever bit me up at running) so knowing that my husband though I am pretending moving like 85 y.o.person. I have realised he doesn't trust me and for the first time in my life I felt hopeless. I didn't get that was a Dexa side effect. So I thought I give Dexa a miss for a week and than cameback to it again after one week as the med may doesn't have effect while I am ill but after taking Dexa again in about 2 weeks in couple of hours it cleared up the problem. Well I thought why didn't I take it earlier. I could have been better long time ago. But in those couple of weeks while I was off Dexa I have seen stars in my eyes. My vision got blurred and I bought myself a magnifying glass and carried with me in the pocket to read I also got numbness in my both arms to the point that was waking up from terrible discomfort to an excruciating pain. I also got hot flashes so badly that had to take showers 5-6 times a day and change my cloths totally. That was while I was off Dexa, but when I got back on it I got also very hungry. I was going shopping for food like no day tomorrow and was unwrapping food and eating right in the shop making my excuses and leaving the food box in the shopping basket to be visible I will pay for it. I got also so thirsty that was drinking like a full case of drinks like fanta or others. I became a gourmand and everything food related eating and drinking made me terribly sleepy. As soon as I was eating my brain was automatically shutting down in sleep. Whether I was on a chair, at the table or anywhere else. I got to sleep with my head in the food plate like a crack head. When I have noticed so many bad things happened to me I soon realised is from the bustard Dexa. Every time I was thinking twice to take it or not again. But as soon I was off it, in couple of days I was waking up worse and was going back faster on Dexa than before. I have read a lot about it since and knowing what it does to me I wish I have never been taking this in the first place. But I found few other supplements from the sports area of life do get on with it and stop the drug being so nasty to me. So taking together with Dexa some brain focusing and energy boosters which keeps me on feet, non-sleepy, none-hungry, non-thirsty etc. all day long. I do feel I need to go to bed when I get sleepy. I didn't tell you what was more important is Dexa made me psychopathic. I was finding myself shouting at my husband for no apparent reason. Everything was irritating me and I wasn't tolerating hot or heat around me. I was going with a short sleeve in minus one in the winter and felt normal. I was running to clean and feed the cats like was having Toshiba batteries in my butt and all this I am taking as a positive. But when Dexa decides to be nasty to me puts me right down in the bed and I feel I loose al responsibilities and the life turns nasty to me. I became to understand the cocoon which Dexa creates around me, but I sort of live in confusion to this very moment I am writing this article. It also makes me emotional, I can easily cry, or ask apologies for pretty much all chappy things which don't need apologising. I am sort off imbalanced psychologically but hide this side practicing meditation and positive thinking. One day Dexa bits me in the butt, the next day I take back control. All depends how I approach. I do find myself swearing to the doors and walls and believe God is not there to help my soul to recover. I feel somehow Dexa is like a hook and anchors me back sooner rather than later. Dexa became like something I want to get rid off but Dexa doesn't let me go. I love Dexa for good times and I Dexa for all those bad days which decides to eat my life. I am still on it. I do bring it back from my home country in small amounts to keep me good on the days I feel I am bad. I ask my cousin to send over via courier as in uk gp doesn't prescribe this drug, you hardly can get a doctors appointment if you lucky. Dexa let's see what else you do to me?
So in conclusion for everyone who lives close by a person on Dexa please do understand this is a strong drug which changes a person's mind radically. And is terribly hard to get rid of it without getting worse. Apologies for in depth description but it's like I only described here 5% from all I encounter on Dexa.
Thank you so much for all who read this article, I would like to know it helps people to understand the psychological mechanism of how Dexa works. Hopefully and I really wish I could come off it, but is like nearly 10 months I am still hooked on it. On and off. So I worked it out that if I get worse while on it, I immediately stop taking it for exactly 2 weeks. Chris knows how I deal with pains in my joints and stiff hands makes me cry like a baby. Than I get back on it and I feel soo good again, it clears up all my pains and I am feeling like God again untill kicks me on an other issue. Boom! Bad times again for 2 weeks. So on and so forth. Never ending.
