[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 373979, member: 3444"] Decadron is heavy-duty cortisone/steroid. Great stuff for putting the damper on any kind of inflammatory situation. difficult child 1 would get a shot of it when he had a bad asthma attack. It works very quickly. I'm sorry to hear about the cholesterol numbers being so high. My husband has had similar problems this past year. He's taking a statin AND a cholesterol medication to get his numbers under control. So far, I think it's helping, but now he also needs to work on his diet and he needs to exercise. It's hard to make those healthier choices when you are under a lot of stress. Comfort food is much more appealing! If the seroquel helped your mood issues, then don't beat yourself up over the side effects. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils and deal with the aftermath as it comes. At least you can do something about what you eat and the medications are available to help you with the cholesterol and thyroid issues. You probably wouldn't have been able to deal with ANYTHING if your mental status was less than stable. Hope Tony gets that lightbulb moment and realizes how best to help you so things aren't such a struggle. You're not asking for the moon. Just a little support. Hang in there, Janet.
