tummy questions

Just wondering if this is a possible flare or not. I haven't felt this way before. Usually I get d and lrq pain. But this time I've had pain in the middle of my stomach and d. And its making the weirdest/loudest sounds ever! I can't even drink water without having to go to the toliet ah!

Oh! And thought I'd add that I went up from 110 lbs to 130 while on pred. Then 125. Friday at the doctor I weighed 120 and today I weigh 116!! What the heck??

Hi Xoxava,

It is common for their to be weight gain while taking prednisone. Have you decreased the dosage/stopped taking it recently?

It seems like you are having symptoms of a flare. The symptoms can differ for everyone, but what you are experiencing are some of the common symptoms most people would have during a flare.

Make sure to rest up and hopefully you will feel better soon!
