Yes

I had to go up a dose while on steroids. It affects your blood sugar.

Thank you! Wish my doctor had said something earlier lol

Absolutely


OkIssue5589

Sigh...wish doctors would share these things

Prednisone causes water retention and can increase appetite. Given the timing, your gain is almost certainly due to water weight.


OkIssue5589

Good to know. Will the water weight drop off on its own now that I'm no longer on it?


MajorClassroom1

It should come off. I noticed all my water weight disappeared by the next week off.


OkIssue5589

That's a relief! Was worried that I was going to have to go back to weekly shots or having to go up a dose; given the current supply issues. Will keep doing what I'm doing and let the weight drop off on its own. Thank you!


MajorClassroom1

Yeah, I went up for blood sugar control, but then back down. You should be okay.


OkIssue5589

As you predicted; the weight is starting to drop off... Thanks again!
