five days

Well, the multidisciplinary approach came up with an idea: a five-day dexamethasone suppression test.  I’ve heard of overnight tests (low and high dose) and two-day suppression tests, but not five days.  Still, it was an opportunity to see if taking long-acting steroids would be helpful for my ever-worsening PMS (the results were a bit contradictory – my head pain improved a bit but the abdominal pain became a bit unpredictable, fasting blood glucose went haywire, my PMS emotional state was gloriously psychotic, my psoriasis seemed to improve a bit and instead of putting on my usual PMS weight gain of 1kg, I lost 1/2 kg!)
