There is really nothing you can do except be grateful you are (hopefully) out of pain. Maybe inquire about a diuretic? It sucks having moon face, I am sorry you are suffering from it. I did for a long time....

@nothatkaren,

The moon face will gradually go away as you taper to a lower dose of prednisone, usually less then about 20 mg. Unfortunately comes with the territory with such a high dose. Tell your friends and relatives about your condition and that it is temporary. Best wishes on your health journey!
