HELP! On Predisone last week and gained 3 lbs!!!
OMG! I had to go on predisone last week for an allergic reaction. I have gained 3 lbs! GOT TO PUT ON THE BRAKES!!! When I got on the scale I thought I would hyperventalate. Something has to give. Took my last dose this morning. Hope it is then end of the weight gain now to get it back off! Going to jump on the treadmill...time to stomp that carb monsters butt!~
Nothing tastes as good as this feels! 
Well, crap!! I hope you're doing better now. Show that carb monster who's boss, babee!

Prednisone does that - take deep breaths, and relax. That weight WILL come off as it's steroid related, and not weight you actually gained from excess calories or reduced exercise.
But - do stomp that carb monster's butt!

Hang in there. Weight gain from steroids SUCKS, but that's what it is...from the steroids. But they certainly do make the carb monster rear HIS (has to be a male you know, lol) ugly head. This too shall pass...

I never believed that steroids really made you ravenously hungry until I had to take them once. I found that getting a cortisone shot in my ankle did the same thing. It's amazing how that happens.
It's true, they make us retain fluids as well as making us hungry. The good news is that you didn't gain 3 pounds from binging and they'll come off as quickly as they went on. But yeah, doesn't every little weight gain make us panic.
I'm glad you've taken the last dose. Hang in there!
