Trump is taking dexamethasone which is a corticisteroid.
The RECOVERY trial provides evidence that treatment with dexamethasone at a dose of 6 mg once daily for up to 10 days reduces 28-day mortality in patients with Covid-19 who are receiving respiratory support. We found no benefit (and the possibility of harm) among patients who did not require oxygen. “
One of the results from taking a steroid is a feeling of exuberance while taking it. It gives you alot of energy that he maybe experiencing as he has said he feels better than he has in the last 20 years.
You can’t suddenly stop taking the drug as your adrenal gland stops producing cortisol when on the drug. You have to taper off it to give the adrenal gland time to once again produce cortisol. While taking the drug, one of the issues is a big appetite and mood swings.
Let us hope he does not relapse as he tapers off.
