hey all!

I know there was a recent post about prednisone on here, but I wanted to ask how you guys manage while on it. It's making my lungs feel great but I am SO bloated and yucky feeling. I'm starting to be weened off of it very slowly but I just feel yucky because I can/want to eat EVERYTHING in sight. Whether I do or don't I feel like I've gained 10 lbs in my stomach only. I know this is common and will eventually go away the lesser doses I'm on, but I was just wondering if anyone has any diet (or otherwise) suggestions or temporary remedies to feel a little more normal while on it.

Thanks <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I was just on pred for 3.5 weeks...and I felt the same way. The only thing that I can suggest to relieve the issues is more water and no soda. I dunno about you but I have to eat so a "diet" isn't an option. But I too felt as if I put on 10 lbs (which I did) but I felt like it was JUST in my stomach. Now that I am off it my tummy has flatten out again.

I would agree with the more water. I am throughly addicted to soda so haha I would rather drink that. But it definitely "fills you up" because it takes up space in your stomach. I am actually on a maintenance dose (10mg 3x weekly) and I don't see as many effects as when I go for the burst. I would imagine you would see less of the problems as your dosage is normalized
