I often feel fatigued. last week after a long trip i got so weak that my doc gave me dexason i instantly felt better. does this mean i need this drug?

NO: This means that you need a comprehensive physical examination to include blood and urine testing. You will also need a complete hormonal evaluation including thyroid and female hormone levels as well as blood sugar and a CBC to rule out anemia.
