Two other treatments with results
- low dose of blood thinner (also significant improvement and widely available)
- IL-6 inhibitor tocilizumab (some improvement in severe cases but expensive and hard to scale up)
Both dexamethasone and tocilizumab weaken the immune system. Helps against the overshooting but risks other infections.

- CWuestefeld 6y agoI've seen small observational studies with positive results about other IL-6 and TNF-a inhibitors, like Remicade. I have a particular interest in this because of Crohn's Disease - might the disease be making me high risk, and might my treatment (Entyvio, which operates differently from Remicade and its kin) help offset that anyway?
