re: re: how to stress dose w/ Dex Jan. 19th, 2007 9:14pm
Hey Natalie - hope you're feeling better soon.
I triple my dose when I stress dose. Had a bad stomach bug this week and had to stress dose. Why is it I don't think of doing it right away? In the middle of the night after vomiting every 20 minutes for several hours, I was starting to shake and just felt out of it, when I remembered. I had an adrenal crisis a few years ago and nearly died; you'd think I'd reach for my dex as soon as I get sick but I just don't think of it. Most the time I only need the stress dose once, but when I've been running a fever I keep it up until the fever breaks.
I think it's time I talk to my hubby about stress dosing, so maybe he can remind me when I get sick.
