Oh late February, just saw that. Yo are ahead of me by a few months. I'll just be patient since I don't have any other worrying symptims outside of the weight fluctuation.
I wouldn't be surprised if I need to go back up a bit with the dose though because of pain.
My weight typically plummets with any major stress situation and add physical pain, forgetabout it. I will call my doctor today but I have only been on prednisone for just under three weeks.
I know that pmr can cause weight loss and the corticosteroids weight gain which is temporary. May I ask how long you've been on the prednisone?
