Does anyone have Asthma/weight gain w/steriods?
I have Asthma, I'm planning to have surgery May/June. Now I'm fearful that I will not have enough sick time, as I'm using it now with another bought of Asthma. I only have 4 weeks, and I'm irritated!
I lost 25 lbs in 6 long months last year, only to have every lb plus more back when I was hospitalized for asthma in Sept (on 300 mg a day IV).
I guess my question is, does anyone out there have the same problem? Any way around it? I'd love to find out if steroid use has long term effects on metabolism. I'd just like to know I have someone else rowing this boat with me. I'm a RN myself- and I'm sure I know the answer- I would just like to hear from someone else that has this same problem and how to cope with it.
