@@quantumeseboy you're kidding but I actually covered my mirrors at home to not get even more depressed by looking at my body while still struggling with Prednisone side effects. My body changed in one week and it is horrible!!! Can't look at it.
@@cathcath570 I don't mind the moon face nor the acne. It's this weird unusual weight gain that's the hardest.

Oh Lucy, I'm so sorry this rubbed you the wrong way! That was in no way my intention. I personally had to take very high doses of several steroids for over 9 months. My goal with this video and many others is not to point fingers and make fun, but instead to help us find the humor in the moment. Find a way to smile while on prednisone. To fight the side effects with information and humor. I guess this one didn't accomplish that for you.
I felt the same! I did not watch the video because of it... And only read the comments... Gained 22 kilo in less than a month.. My immuunsystem broke down and i could not walk.. I don't recognise myself in the mirror etc.. Looking for tips on youtube and than seeing this.. Like someome is just making fun of it... 😥😫 Sorry.. But it feels not ok nice....
I felt the same way. It makes me feel horrible about myself and I’ve been researching for days on how to make it stop and then come on TH-cam and see this TH-camr making jokes about it. Tasteless
I'm gonna start steroids again in a few days and I'm really dreading the moonface. I had it last time. And right now I have the smallest, slimmest face with really high cheekbones and I'm going to miss it so much. I know it sounds shallow but it is what it is.
I can understand..I too had slim face with beautiful cheekbones and I have been on steroids for more than a year now..I miss myself..in the beginning my face swelled a lot..I used to ignore looking myself at the mirror..but thankfully the swelling is getting reduced..
@@lesleyohanlon209 actually it does help. At first, I avoided gum because I thought that chewing too much would hurt my face but..if you use it smart it's a great exercise for face muscles.
I am off this devilish drug for more than a month now. I'll start by saying that I USED to be a dancer. Healthy and thin and on a low fat, low salt, low sugar diet for years. After only 9 days of Prednisone, my life and body changed. Although I am very active, and eat only one meal a day, no salt, no sugar and under 1300 calories all together per day- still got moon face, still every little thing I bite is super painful to deal with. Because my belly is bloated and full of water that never goes!!!!!

@violetakerul7040 my face is looking fine. Actually. I am suffering from water weight, and it is a total nightmare!!!!!! I used to be so thin. I never ate unhealthy food before/during, and after prednisone but the weight gain is just awful, and no matter what I do, it's just getting worse.

i got diagnosed for nephrotic syndrome . and it started with 70mg dosage . my apptite was on fire and well at first i did not take the anything seriously and ate like a monster and keep lying in bed that caused a weight gain as i started the medication at 71kg and during the second month it was 85kg medication was reduced to 60 mg so i started gym again and had good diet and this is my third month and although my weight is still 81kg my belly fat has reduced and more muscle mass ive gained and my dosage is 40 mg now and although my face got swollen in second month it started to reduce in third month and salt is not only the thing , fat is also a major part in moon face and exercise is important and a good diet is also important
Hi.. Same here... I got dianosed with igan nephrophthy... I was on 60 mg wyselone for 3 months.. Got tappered down to 20 mg but God side effects were hell... Moon face back hump.. Tummy..

@@nainajan8356 right now i am also taking 20mg , and trust me when i worked out i sweated like crazy and my heart rate reached 198 while intense workouts , and i too think that my legs have gotten weaker as i get leg cramps when i do cardio , and for you - cutting salt and sugar is not okay , you should take them in low amount do not completely cut them , and you should eat less calories than you burn , and eat foods that keep you fuller for long like oats and stay away from soy products , reduce the use of oil in daily dishes , and when you feel hungry between normal meal times just eat a cucumber , and majorly salt and carbs retain the water in our body that makes us look puffy and fat so you should eat less carbs and eat carbs that are complex ( search for food that are considered complex carbs ) as body takes more time to digest them and keep you full for longer . drink warm water with lemon in morning empty stomach (as i believe that your doctor would have stopped your empty stomach medicine ) and if your legs are weak then just do normal planks and push ups while on your knees and just do normal walking and increase the distance slowly and you can do crunches , leg raises , i talked with my doctor and he said that once the medication stops you will be back to normal so no need to take stress just control your food intake and exercise , and don’t worry as i know about feeling bad the whole day , sleeping so much , always feeling hungry , and how bad we look now , it was one of the saddest times in my life , but i trust that we will be back to normal soon . and when we do get back to looking normal and healthy . just forget all this because it was just a bad phase of our life 👍🏻

Hi doctor, I have been using corticosteroids for 9 years and now I have stopped using them for nearly 1 year but the moon face phenomenon has not completely gone away. So does using corticosteroids for a long time cause the moon face phenomenon to become chronic? 😨
I took it for 3 years straight. & after being off it for a year the weight in my face and body did not shed. So I resorted to getting buccal fat removal & chin lipo. I feel that's the only thing that helped. unfortunately:(
Its a terrible side effect😔. Thank god I need to take it for 3 months maximum. But I must admit its doing pretty great job decreasing inflammation fast. Going to listen to your advice. Thank you!
Is it possible to have moon face without weight gain? My cheeks and nasal labial folds are fuller after a little over 6 weeks of prednisone, but overall I've lost 10 lbs. I'm tapering down at the moment and hoping I won't need to go back on it.

Hi! I have been taking 20 mg prednisone for 1 week. Down to 10mg for 2 weeks and there’s no visible moon face in me. Now i’m on 5mg and I noticed that my face puffed and bigger 😔😔 what does it mean? I know it should be lessen the side effects coz it’s already low dosage but idk what happened 😔
I have ulcerative colitis and have been on prednisone several times at high doses as well as some low doses. In every case the moon face and other side effects don’t show up right away but take several weeks or even months to really set in. I also get an acne rash all over my body when I take these type of steroids. Tanning in a tanning bed is the only thing that helps that and was suggested to me by my dermatologist.
@@PrednisonePharmacist it doesn’t happen to everyone. But I 💯 get it on most antidepressants especially Paxil. It’s unrelated to weight gain too because on some antidepressants I lost weight but my face remained bloated. Must be water retention. Unfortunately I had to discontinue the medication because of this side effect.

How much weight did you gained ?
How do you cut out salt when you take 2gm NaCl daily for hyponatremia
If you have hyponatremia, then you should follow what your doctor suggests.
My face is so big now that she increased my steroids . I’m tired of it I look like a balloon lol. But seriously
I am glad I found your videos love them all especially all the moon face of course we hate it and hate looking in the mirror but you make it funny and I love that I can laugh and relate and I know I am not alone thank you so much for the information and the many laughs thank you 😊
Thank you!
Dr. Megan, How problematic is using prednisone in these corona days?
I think it's still as I shared back in my original video about coronavirus... I don't think you're more likely to GET COVID-19, but you may be at a higher risk for complications from it. th-cam.com/video/cUx7E1mSeNU/w-d-xo.html
@@PrednisonePharmacist However, they've also used dexamethasone to suppress damage from the sars2 virus. So... it's a double edged sword I guess?
Does exercise help ?
Yes

Hi! I have been taking 20 mg prednisone for 1 week. Down to 10mg for 2 weeks and there’s no visible moon face in me. Now i’m on 5mg and I noticed that my face puffed and bigger 😔😔 what does it mean? I know it should be lessen the side effects coz it’s already low dosage but idk what happened 😔
Same
I have ulcerative colitis and have been on prednisone several times at high doses as well as some low doses. In every case the moon face and other side effects don’t show up right away but take several weeks or even months to really set in. I also get an acne rash all over my body when I take these type of steroids. Tanning in a tanning bed is the only thing that helps that and was suggested to me by my dermatologist.
update on this?
The WP page would need proper medical citations
That's for sure. I added all of the ones I could find!
Anti depressants can have the exact same effects.
Which effects? I don’t know of many antidepressants that can cause moon face…
@@PrednisonePharmacist it doesn’t happen to everyone. But I 💯 get it on most antidepressants especially Paxil. It’s unrelated to weight gain too because on some antidepressants I lost weight but my face remained bloated. Must be water retention. Unfortunately I had to discontinue the medication because of this side effect.
@@wulfsorenson8859you’re correct I have it now due to the same meds I’ve been off for awhile but it still remains !
Sertraline as it has been known to raise prolactin..
This is a beautiful woman
Take laxatives after
I hate it!!!! Accck
Cortisone gave me the worst moon face
