Yes my rheumatologist warned me that after being on steroids for more than two months the moon face and weight gain would begin. I did develop the moon face on 16 mg of methyl prednisone but after reducing sugar and carbs and drinking more water the moon face has lessened significantly.

Yes. I've cut out sugar, salt and most carbs and go thru a gallon jug of water per day. Pharmacist looked it up for me and, because my ears feel full all the time and I'm having pressure behind my eyes also, that it is probably edema. Actually, my whole diet has changed since January. Oh well...will keep on keepin' on.
