I started taking prednisone due to an unknown allergic reaction the made my face swell. On 11/23/24, Urgent Care gave me Kenalog 80 and a prednisone taper and said to come back if swelling was worse. I went back the next day and they gave me another Kenalog 80 injection and some doxycycline. I ended up having an allergic reaction to the doxy that made my face swell worse. I've been weaning off Methylprednisolone since then, with my last day being January 8th. I've had muscle wasting and have lost 10 lbs, but my face is slowly getting fuller. I have no way of knowing if my face is swelling due to the lowering of the dose OR if I've developed moon face. It's seemed to have settled in my lower cheeks and nasal labial folds. I am *hoping* it is moon face because I know it will go away eventually. But if it's my unknown allergy I'll likely remain on a low dose of prednisone until they can fine some answers. It's so frustrating 😥. I know I was given an insanely high dose at the very beginning of this whole debacle, so I don't know how much that would affect my possible moon face situation.
