Give a Hug
|
I was on prednisone for 2 yrs. and I also gained alot of weight. I quit taking it on my own. I suffered pain every day because I didn't take it but I pushed myself through until my doctor put me on Mobic. It doesn't help as well as the prednisone but atleast I'm not on that anymore. I have been off of the prednisone for 2 yrs. now and I am still fighting the weight gain from it. Also, I dont know if anyone told you but prednisone can cause what is called a Buffalo hump on the back of your neck. I have one and it still wont go away. The doctor I had first to treat my Lupus never told me all the side affects. When I found out it was to late. I had already put on 75 lbs. and developed the hump. Even with the side affects from prednisone sometimes I wish I was still on it. Especially now, I cant hardly walk for the past 2 days. It is so painful just to get out of bed. Well I hope this helps some. Ask your doctor about Mobic it might help you. |
