Eileen, mrs O et al. help needed!

No worries, I guess I just have to cut those carbs and it will help.  thanks for the reality check😊.  

It very much depends on the person - I started to lose weight very very slowly at 15mg when I was switched from one sort of steroid to another. Even now at below 5mg I only lose weight noticeably if I cut carbs a lot, eat carbs and my weight stays the same.

One lady put on a massive amount of weight (7st), though she did have GCA and needed 60mg pred for a while, and lost none until she came off pred altogether. Then it just melted away.
