August 10, 2008, my right eye swelled up from something on that Saturday before. By Sunday morning it was closed and I as unable to see out of it. I don't have any allergies to anything. After a few hours I was convinced I had to see a doctor. I went to a med express and was seen. They were great. I was prescribed the Dexpak Taperpak 13 day. I received a shot and (2) intrevienes doses of meds. I started right away with the DexpakDay’s 1-4 required a usage of 24 pills (6) per day. . Day 5 came along. Day 5 I stopped or cut back to 1 per day. I had the hip cups for 20 hours, unable to sleep at all. I was wired to the max. 4:30 am, day 5, I was up all night with the hip cups to the tune of 6-8 per minute. Coca Cola was my savior. My wife almost brought me into the hospital for help as I was unable to breath well. That’s when I decided I was done with the dexpak taperpak. I was tapering it all right, to one a day for one more day. The swelling in the eye went totally down and was gone in 2 days. No one had any idea of what it was, it is very hard to diagnose something like that in any case. I’m just leaving the dexpak taperpak alone for now on. It’s simply not for me. Maybe I’ll add to this after I call my doctor and let them know my plans for the dexpak taperpak.
