[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 746174, member: 4152"] You were lucky. It seems to cause issues with water retention. And oddities with sugar. I have had the “moon face.” I always lose weight when getting off naturally. And yes, that bloat makes it look even worse. But I gain weight absurdly easy while on prednisone and perhaps 3/4 of it sticks. And it is particularly cruel because it increases appetite. No doubt we are all different and much depends on dosage too. When I’m on 2 mg it’s not nearly as much if an issue.5 mg is debatable. But even 10 mg it starts being problematic. 15 yes. 20 definitely. When I get off of prednisone, I feel much more normal in terms of weight loss. PS no mania for me. But when I’ve had pain I’ve appreciated the lack of pain. I’m not obese. I wear a smallish size. I suspect some folks on this medication sort of don’t try. That is not my case at all. I’m surprised that effort didn’t give me anything. [/QUOTE]
