All of my weight came off

I'm having to slowly working it off. I've been on it for 15 yrs. I have winged down to 1 mg a day but still have issues with it. But I also cannot be very physical. I've had 2 knee replacements. But it is coming off slowly! :)

It depends. I've had both, where it came off immediately after along the prednisone (hydrocortisone in my case) or outgrew had it where it was stubborn and stuck around for awhile. The puffy face usually goes away first. But the rest is a crap shoot. Good luck !
