Can I take Dexona to gain weight? I'm curious about what the benefits and drawbacks might be. Could you explain what I should be aware of if I consider using it for weight gain?

Dexona (dexamethasone) is a steroid that can increase appetite and promote weight gain, but it also carries risks like fluid retention, high blood sugar, and weakened immunity. It's not typically recommended for weight gain without medical supervision, as it may cause more harm than benefit in the long term. Always consult a doctor before using it.

I'm looking at my daughter's diagnostic report, and her TSH level is 8.7. From what I understand, it should be under 5.5. She's only 11 years old, so I'm just wondering if this is normal for her age or if there's something we need to address. Any advice on what steps we should take?
