I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Well first, as you have probably been told or read, Prednisone can certainly cause weight gain.. in fact most people on prednisone gain weight....(at least all those I know)....
As to water, I'm guessing you are referring to edema? I believe Prednisone can contribute to that also, but depending on the severity (i.e how much fluid you are retaining)...You should probably ask your doctor the next time you are in ....or if you notice a substantial increase in your weight.(like a couple of lbs in a day)...call sooner.......Prednisone is great stuff, and bad stuff at the same time.....side effects can be worse than the disease! But, for Sarcoid, it's all we have right now.
Let me know how you are doing.....if it is the prednisone, there isn't a lot you can do about it....for what it's worth, I've gained about 40 lbs ...some due to prednisone, some due to Edema from the Cor Pulmonale....
Well, best regards,
