good luck and best wishes, I will write you a pred poem to try and help

Prednisone
When we meet you were so kind to take away some pain of mine
working great for a period of time
Then I found your true intent
you were homeless with no money for rent
and in trade for taking away my inflammation
you took up residence in a new location
My hips my butt my legs my neck and face
everywhere I look your taking up space
My doc says this drug is temporary
He will find another that's not so scary
and when that day comes with much conviction
I've done the paperwork for your eviction

Good luck, I have trouble with exercise also.
but its not always going to be this way. they may lower your dose
or take it away if they find something else suitable for you.
I know what you mean and your not alone.

I have also gained like 25 lbs since all this uggg
Mainly because I am not active anymore .
If your heart is healthy you could ask about phentrrmine
It's a appetite suppressant my Dr won't let me take it because I'm having so many chest pain issues. But like I said only if your heart healthy

I think all of us have a love hate relationship with prednisone. I haven't had much luck losing any of the weight yet.....I am still hopeful!
I would suggest that you move as much as possible, even if it just around the house.....and be very aware of portion size.....this was my downfall.....I was eating very healthy, but I didn't realize how much my portions had increased......try using smaller plates.

once you start feeling better you will be able to move more and weaning down should help too, when your ready.

good luck

Love the poem! I have been through the weight gain with the steroids and lack of movement. Now I am on Weight Watchers and have lost 20 lob. I am still on 2 mg of methylprednisalone (Medrol) every day.

LR, I LOVED your poem!!! Made me laugh out loud... :-)

Well - I'm dealing with the same issue. I struggle because Im in too much pain or exhausted when it finally comes time to work out. I finally lost a couple of pounds over the last two weeks (I also have put on about 20lbs) - what I am doing is shakes. When I get hungry, instead of eating empty calories - i make a fruit milk shake. Berries, milk, agave nectar and vanilla. It's filling, has antioxidants and seems to be working (for now). A lot of the weight is prb just water weight - but still :/

ps: I either buy the frozen blueberries and strawberries -- or I freeze them after buying them fresh.

ty ty not my best but i think it covers it. I want to come out with a line of moo moos for men. Call them Moo Mans, and have them look like a suspender blue jean set and a tux and a suit. I am wearing 5x t shirts now , skipped the 4x just in case.
