Dexamethasone - flush red face?

OAJ2013

I started chemo on Monday and I keep getting a red flush face. It seems to be right around when I take my Dexamethasone. I don't have a fever or chills. Is this a normal SE? Thanks

Yup, flushing of face and chest is common with steroids - ask your MO if you can take some Benadryl. The flushing usually dissipates within 48 hours.
