Flying while Driving

Today, the day I was supposed to have my aSCT but couldn't, I restarted high-dose steroids. Dexamethasone is the best drug we have for myeloma, and one of the hardest to take. I hate it, but it comes with nearly every other drug we take. The larger doses drive me crazy.

If you like, here's a set of three posts I did years ago to the myeloma support group describing why I don't drive on dex. You may enjoy them.

  1. Your "driving on dex" posts are a riot. My husband's friend once did what you did, drove on the wrong side of the barrier(the wrong way). It wasn't dex but too many drinks that put him there. Unfortunately for him, he did get in a head-on accident where he was injured and the other guy was air-lifted to a hospital.
    He waited to hear from a lawyer. He did, his own, telling him how lucky he was that the other guy got caught with "weed" in the car and
    was himself "under the influence." There's just nuthin' like driving on NJ roads,
    let me tell ya! As if the traffic, road ragers, and telephone talking-blinker challenged soccer moms weren't enough, people are driving wasted all the time. You would fit right in with your DEX driving.
