I get my new med on Thursday and start with an injection right away. I am an 'old' nurse and am pretty comfortable with shots, but this one makes me nervous. Maybe it is the unknown of the med, combined with it being the 6th one 1 have tried and Dr. said there isn't any other to try... Either way, I am praying and keeping positive that It Will Work

I never had a productive cough with my pulmonary sarcoidosis, but it is active again (in many areas of my body) and this time I have a productive cough.

I have just started 20mg 3x daily when do side effects appear? Did you gain weight instantly? How much? I am having biopsy for #GiantCellArterisis and I already have body issues. I am petrified of all the side effects. I am also being given it for possible Polymyalgia Rheumatica. If anyone can give me some information I will greatly appreciate it ☀️

I feel shitty enough about myself anyway so being on #Prednisone ( on 20mg 2x daily. I am petrified of getting #MoonFace I am not a vain person, but I cannot handle people asking me why I am so fat! I already have Depression and Anxiety so being humiliated about ANOTHER
Was recently dx with lupus cystitis they say it’s rare I live in Saint Louis near one of the world’s highly ranked hospital #BarnesJewishHospital and I’m the first case they’ve ever seen in person its when lupus attacks the bladder, I just recently finished a three day course of 3,000mg prednisone and my first dose of cytoxin chemotherapy it’s gotten off to a super rough start haven’t felt well enough to do much more #Fibromyalgia I’m tired but there’s still too much to fight for
I have gained 45 pounds in less than 2 months from Prednisone. When I was hospitalized for a week they even gave me 100mg shots of it. I estimate that over the course of a month and a half of taking it I took a total of 2,650mg !
. I’ve been off of it for 3 weeks and I’m still gaining weight rapidly for no reason, yet my body size hasn’t changed at all. I’m wearing clothes from before the hospital!
. I do Pilates, and go for walks, I’ve been eating approximately 1800 calories a day. I gained 10 pounds this week.
What fresh hell is going on??
What can I do about it??
