Hi Everyone, I have never seen the medication "Decadron" ever mentioned as being used for a flare. I have posted in other threads about a flare I had through Thanksgiving and Christmas, and it was a confusing situation because I was being treated by my Lung Dr and my Rheumy, and both were doing tests, etc. Because of the way my body reacts to Rituxan, my Rheumy will use it if he feels its a last resort, but I seem to have a very big dip in my immune system (which is normal) but one of the "great" things about Rituxan is that it will stay in your system for a long time....but since I was having lung issues, my Rheumy did not want to use Rituxan and risk causing my lungs to get worse. That's why he used Decadron, a strong steroid pill. It worked very well. But I want to know if anyone else has used this medication. Thank you, Blessings and much Love.....
