Hi gang !
Found an interesting article about Prednisone and weight gain. I felt like sharing with y'all.
Take a look. :)

I have stopped taken also but it's probably to late for me to loose the 65 lbs it put on me.
Ashley I'm with you. I want to break or take down every mirror in the house. I hate it I hate the person I see and I don't want my weight taken at the doctors office anymore. I have to buy clothes that are kinda stretchy so I have something to wear. No wonder everybody gets so dern depress and there are some of us that have indicated that they'd rather be dead then to be going on looking and feeling the way they do.what can we do ? Yes I know about being a warrior. That doesn't always help when you stand in a full length mirror looking at the stranger looking back π’
Thanks for sharing. I didn't know it was called moon face, always thought more like stay puff marshmallow man. I'm only on prednisone when my asthma is bad, but high doses for years have caused osteoporosis. I was diagnosed at age 32. Be careful.
I have been in 10 mg Prednisone since 2005 , I have gained 100 pounds. When I have to be admitted to the hospital they raised it up to 80mg due to my asthma exacerbation, COPD, pneumonia, etc.. Unfortunately, my experience has showed me that the Prednisone is the only thing that helps me. I have Lupus SLE and Wegener's. No chemo for me anymore, I used to take Cellcept but didn't help. My personal opinion is no chemo and try to eat healthy, no fats, no dairy, no red meat. I'm starting to take tumeric and Ibuprofen 800 mg for severe osteoporosis. I read my bible every day and has helped me with my stress and emotions. I have a lot of Faith and God is always there for us!! Take care every body and I'm sending my love β€οΈ to all of you!!!πππππππ
I was on 80 mg and now down to 10mg I have noticed that my face has stopped being so round
Everyone makes fun at work because I am always freaking hangry !! (Hungry plus angry) hangry lmao
