Hi,
Will my tummy go back down after I get off prednisone? I never had a stomach in my life, always in good shape, but now with the autoimmone disease it's hard for me to even exercise..I'm trying to get off the prednisone, but it takes time. Am on Metrotrexate along with the Pred. I take 7 a day and 8 Metrotrexate..
I can't believe my stomach, I haven't even gained that much weight, about 8 lbs......Help..

I've read weight gain is one side effect. I woul dsggest that your going to have to carefully montitor your diet to prevent wieght gain, as exercise is obviously out of the question.

thanks Leper for your reply. I was never a big eater and I have been cutting back, but my arms are so thin that I hate to cut back too much..
I just hope the stomach and face go back down when I can get the prednisone dropped..
Thanks again..Nel
