Dexamethasone

I personally only take them when I need them now. I know it says 1/2hr before food, but I've found eating little & often (basically eating like my 4yr old - white/beige diet, minimal fruit & veg) helps, & double check with your specialist nurse, but I was told, take as & when needed no more than 8 a day. Hope this helps 

Your GP?  I had similar steroid prescribed by my oncologist and dispensed by the hospital pharmacy.  When it ran out I got a repeat prescription from my GP.  She phoned me about it for a catch-up of what's-going-on, but no problem with getting it.  

Cairo, am also trying to graze with small portions but as have type 2 diabetes have to be little careful. Will try without today unless feeling particularly nauseous. Unfortunately still waiting for response from nurse so thought would see if anybody had experience. Thanks.

Oh no poor you. Though to be honest, I'm not fancying sweet things, just crackers, toast, cheese - though I've found sucking fruity boiled sweets helps to refresh my mouth? Maybe sugar free ones? (I'm so sorry, I'm not up on diabetes - I'm a bit rubbish about all things medical, the doctors & nurses have had some fun with me, especially after the chemo, I'm a 43 yr old business woman, & they're having to speak to me like I'm about 10 ). Hope it helps & good luck with everything :-)
