I went today to my endo and they are redoing all my tests from my initial DX 7 years ago. (I didn't do any treatments then) Anyway, some people may remember me saying that on my medical records she clearly stated that she wanted me on 2.5 (not .25mg) of Dex. I have no idea if it was a typo or what but I'm glad I never started it way back then!
Anyway, after I do my testing in two weeks (she said she wanted to test me during my follicular cycle thing, lol) she said if it comes back that I do have a 21 hy. de. that she wants to try out Dex. I am going to tell her that I did tons of research and make sure she doesn't want me on that high dosage.
Anyway, I am SO scared to gain weight or experience the puffy face. My face is fat enough as is. (As the rest of me). I went from 130 to 165 lbs in 3 years. What is your personal experiences with Dex? Is it bad for long term treatment? Did you gain weight?? Have you experienced any reduced hair growth?
(My main symptoms are: extremely hairy, weight gain, fatigue, irregular periods, moderate acne, mood swings)
