Coronavirus: Dexamethasone proves first life-saving drug?
Dexamethasone is a serious drug and corticosteroid [1]. It was prescribed for a friend after eye-surgery and having skin &#x2F; eye inflammation problems, I used it (with no doctors advice) recklessly albeit with very small quantities.<p>The drug was hyper-effective. An unbelievably tiny quantity can remove any inflammation (eye, skin, hair skin rash, etc...). But the fall out and side-effects are no joke even for seemingly super minuscule doses. It was a horror story for me with horrible eye inflammation, small inflammations in different parts of the body and a skin rash I still struggle with until today. Mind you I took small localized doses and not an injection. I wasn&#x27;t aware that it can travel through your skin, get into your blood and make a mess.<p>I think the research will need to specify potential side-effects and their probabilities. It&#x27;s trade-off at the end of the day.<p>PS: Do not ever think of trying it without medical advice and doctor supervision.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dexamethasone#Adverse_effects" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Dexamethasone#Adverse_effects</a>
