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 / eye inflammation problems, I used it (with no doctors advice) recklessly albeit with very small quantities.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't aware that it can travel through your skin, get into your blood and make a mess.I think the research will need to specify potential side-effects and their probabilities. It's trade-off at the end of the day.PS: Do not ever think of trying it without medical advice and doctor supervision.[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexamethasone#Adverse_effects
