What is the dex crash?

The crash is the effects of stopping the steroids.  I was given some handouts at Dana-Farber that say you may experience some of these problems:

1. Soreness or aches in your muscles, joints and bones
2. Low energy level
3. Cravings for particular foods or a gradual decrease in apetite
4. Stomach aches or a change in bowel habits
5. Mood swings or just feeling low
6. Low blood pressure, particularly if you have been on blood pressure lowering drugs

Make sure to report all your side effects to your doctor.  It's important to keep your health care team informed of all developments, no matter how insignificant you think they may be. Please read the notice that appears in the lower right hand corner of every screen.
