I need to ask a question
| Wed, 11-10-2004 - 1:35pm |
I have been taking 10 mg. of predisone for about a year or so and now I am going off each week a little at a time.I have been trying to lose weight while on predisone.Do you know of anyone who has lost weight while on predisone and how they did.Any info will be very helpful. Thanks a bunch.....Judy

I have some pain already in my ankles just going down one mg.I hope it does not get too bad.The doctor said if I could not get off he could try going up on my mertotrexate and try something else with it.I have been taking xenical for 3 weeks that my internist
gave me and have not lost weight,I also have not had the side effects of diahrea,so maybe
it just is not going to work with me.I will just have to eat right wwhich I do anyway.
I will not go higher than 10 mg. because it will make me eat like crazy and I work in a travel center around junk food and doughnuts all day.I make sure I eat mt breakfast and take my lunch to work so I will eat right. Thanks for the info....Judy
make you feel good and will make you eat like you have never eaten before.My dh asked me one time what was wrong with me.We eat right because he is diabetic like half the country now.It is almost like a curse.My rhematologist said he is trying to reduce my slowly and then put me on another medication to go with my methotrexate.Thank goodness they can treat rhuematoid arhiritis now or I do not know if I would still be working.The worst thing would be for me to not to be moving around and sitting at home.I hope this answers your question,that is the best way I know how to explain it. Thank you for your interest
