I found this so encouraging. It is an interesting dilemma...I am taking prendesone for PMR and have gained 15 pounds since October. I did not understand anything about this drug and blamed myself for these powerful cravings...then would get upset with myself fir a lack of self control. It is hard to take care of myself when I act and look like I do lately. Is there a support group that is NOT on FB? Perhaps a Patreon channel? I am ordering your vitamins and going to take a closer look at Joy's plan. I wish she would start something somewhere! Thanks Doc for being so generous and shedding some light i this dark place❤
I’m so glad this was encouraging! Not knowing that the drug is causing the powerful cravings is awful. What would be a better place for a support group?
Thank you Joy! It's such a struggle trying to loose weight on Prednisone! Dr Megan's Zone supplement is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this good news!

Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, hot sauce, herbs or spices. You may also add other non-starchy vegetables, such as peppers, spinach or green beans. Joy seasons with Bragg’s coconut liquid aminos, Worcestershire sauce, homemade chili sauce We don’t follow the diet, which was a fad, just eat the soup for lunch or dinner.

Hi dr, my rheum has me down to .5mg for this week then im off🙏 i dont really have "moon face", i just have a bit puffy cheeks and a rounded, almost double chin that was never there before..i was up til 4 months ago an avid hiker, mtn biker and kept my weight in check through diet and exercise, but ive gained 15#...do you think if im able to return to my old exercise and eating regimen that my face will return to normal as well as me dropping the weight? Is there a general time frame? I was on PRED for about 3 months total. Thanks,!!!
