Weight & prednisone

[cpet]

so i just finished tapering down from 20 mgs for 2 months and I have gained 20 LBS. For someone who is always slightly anorexic, this is horrible. Almost as bad as the constant blood and pain w the Crohns. So I was wondering if people have a relatively easy or difficult time losing the weight post-Prednisone. This is my second time around, and I never experienced this before. I'm sure the rotating constipation/bloody diarhea don't help. Please respond! I'll be waiting...oo:

Since my symptoms always come right back after tapering off, I have never had a problem losing my prednisone weight. I just finished three weeks ago and quickly lost 5 pounds. Guess what - doc wants me to go back on!

Yes!
I'm Jabba the Hutt, but I know it'll just fall off as soon as I stop, then I'll look like Princess Leia!
Seriously tho, try not to worry, the weight doesn't stay around for ages, or the moonface!
