STEROIDS....GRRRRR....

i have been fighting a terrible upper respiratory infection for several weeks and my doc has now given me a burst of steroids plus antibiotic. i am feeling incredibly better, but the steroids are seriously stimulating my appetite. i am eating NON stop and have gained 1.5 lbs. GRRRR.

only 2 days left, then i'm going to have to work extra hard to lose these couple of found pounds, plus stay on my losing track! anyone else ever had to take steroids during losing phase?

You will bounce back! Drink lots of water and flush it out :)

I take medicine for psoriasis. I am 2 weeks post op. 1 week post op I took my new injection, Cimzia and I had a severe allergic reaction and went to the hospital. I had 3 IVs and prednisone. I gained 5 pounds over night. Only today, 6 days later have I FINALLY reached the pre-weight of the allergic incident. It sucks. Get through it and move on. You'll lose it hopefully in a week.
