Answers:
Prednisone causes you to gain water weight, not actual weight. And you have to be on them for a while for this to take effect! Dont worry about it because whenever I have an asthma attack, they put me on it for weeks at a time.
Just take water pills and you should be fine. But please finish your dosing like your doc prescribed...Health Question & Answer

OMG! Yes!! You could get huge sweetie! I'm speaking from experience!!!! I will NEVER again take cortico-steroids!
They make an enzyme that is catabolic, meaning no matter if you don't eat (I ate almost nothing) it eats up your muscles and dissolves them while making body fat at a crazy rate! (real fast)! Bottom line: a year later, my body is no longer hard, even my neck is soft and my back is all flabby! I was always thin and hard body now it's almost impossible to reverse! I wanted to die and I almost did because I quit the steroids and went in a coma. I wish I could go back and NEVER take them!
What kind of allergic reaction is it.? For allergies I use Activated Quercetin from Source Naturals. I'd try that first.
Good lucks sweetie!Health Question & Answer

I have been on prednisone just like what you are describing 2 times - I did not gain any weight either time. I did notice a slight increase in my appetite so I just drank more water and ate a piece of fruit to kill the feeling. I did get very warm at times and feel a little edgy. That was for the first 3-5 days then it gradually got better. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer
You won't gain weight because you won't be on them long enough. If they do make you hungry, try to watch what you put in your mouth (try a piece of fruit, some sort of veggie or some crackers) and try to drink water instead. You should be fine. Don't fret. Health Question & Answer
