So, How Did Der Trumpenfuhrer Feel This Morning When He Woke Up?

Still puffing and wheezing? Better? Worse? I guess we're not going to get regular reports, now that he's back in his free rental home.

Nighttime is usually worse, so here's hoping soothsayer Oct 2020 #1

you sure he is even awake? Maybe he is sedated. Claustrum Oct 2020 #2

Well, I wonder how long they will keep giving him that steroid drug. MineralMan Oct 2020 #3

Should I detail the routine? Dexamethasone via IV JCMach1 Oct 2020 #5

Afterall, pumping so much steroid and drugs to put on a show have side effects.

Long term use of such medications can have a serious negative effect. They normally wean patients off those slowly, to avoid some nasty side effects caused by suddenly stopping taking them. I doubt he will feel as superpowerful once he's off Dexamethasone. In fact, he could well crash down from the high he was on yesterday evening.

Requires constant blood sugar monitoring. I am not diabetic, but there were times I was taking 8 units. There is also a shot I would have to check my records into the stomach every day. Did I mention, I could not function?

Simple things like cell were just not happening.
