I really need some support and advice. I was diagnosed LOCAH about a year ago and put on dex. Before being diagnosed I was sick very often with colds and sinus infections. Once I was on dex I was never sick...the healthiest I have been in years.
So my first question is if this is a normal LOCAH situation? Or am I crazy?
Now I am 22 weeks pregnant. I was kept on dex until I was about 12 weeks. Since that time I have literally been sick every other week with colds and sinus infections. And I don't mean just sniffles....Full blown, can't get out of bed sort of illnesses.
I have a regular ob and a high risk ob. and neither one of them seems to understand how miserable I am feeling and sort of shrug it off. I am beyond frustrated.
Do LOCAH people normally remain on SOME steroid during pregnancy? If so which one? Who do I talk to about this? My ob or my high risk ob? What resources can I bring them??
And my last question. Do LOCAH people generally need stress dosing...specifically before/after labor??
A very desparate
