@lindapc, I think the moon face will go away once the prednisone dosage gets lower according to what I've read. I had to do some lifestyle changes to get rid of the extra weight I gained the first time my PMR occurred. I did do some dieting and exercising to lose the weight. I was also looking for answers for my small fiber peripheral neuropathy and had read a book by Dr. Terry Wahls - The Wahls Protocol. I used her basic diet and some of her smoothie recipes for my breakfast. I got to liking the green smoothies and will occasionally make one for my breakfast meal. She has a really inspiring story on her website here: https://terrywahls.com/about/about-terry-wahls/. I also joined Weight Watchers when I was struggling the most but finally realized that I had to make some lifestyle changes to control the weight and while Weight Watchers provided support and accountability I thought I could do it on my own for free if I made up my mind. I also purchased an inexpensive hybrid recumbent exercise bike elliptical combo and used it first thing each morning for about 30 minutes when I got up. It really helped loosen my legs and got me going in the mornings and it wasn't too strenuous.
