Well done. It took me 4 years to get that much done. I sometimes have dreams about sausage rolls and french fries but the dream does not include my eating any. I started to lose weight three years before I could get a doctor interested enough to find out why, so all in all the 4 1/2 years while in treatment I have lost 70lbs. But that includes the 12 lbs I lost when I had flu. Keep at it it sounds like you are doing well.
I am currently down to 5mg Prednisone per day. I do not find issues with hard exercises (bike, hike, yoga). I do have some trouble sleeping, occasional night sweats and some fatigue issues. I don’t eat many animal products. The only diet trigger I can sense is corn. I can eat a little, a bowl of popcorn can make me achy. 62 years active male. Up to date on all vaccines except shingles.
