Sorry ... the metabolic reset doesn't happen as soon as you get off prednisone. However, it does depend on how long you have been on prednisone. My endocrinologist said my metabolic dysfunction will take a long time to be reversed and some of the things might be irreversible. I was on prednisone for a long time ... but I have been off prednisone for 5 years. Things are gradually improving. I have made a lot of progress compared to when I first tapered off prednisone.

@dadcue I am 10 lbs lighter. It is the only good part of this disease. Everything else sucks.
