I just wanted to tell you that I have also gained, as if today, almost 100 pounds from taking prednisone over the past 7 years. Allergic asthma. I am on an injectable medicine that allows me to not have to take prednisone. Now I need to get the weight off but just can't seem to do it on my own so I'm starting the insurance approval process to get VGS. My body feels "wrecked". I can't stand up for long, I'm starting to have continence issues, my hands and feet tingle a lot, I have severe sleep apnea and arthritis in my toes. My feet and back hurt all the time and I struggle with restless legs. I will be following your thread. It sounds like we have a lot in common.
