A Question For Lupus And Prednisone? |
I am 13, going 14 and In Last Year around May and April i was diagnosed with lupus and i have started prednisome and i had been affected by ist side effects puffy cheecks a little weakness and always hungry. And over the period of time i was taking predisome i noticed my hieght haddent changed in about 4 months i ve beem 5'3 1/2 feet tall. I am starting to worry have i already stopped growing? And i have another question, right now i am at about 15 mg of pred. And I have curved my appetite and is eating less and excersising more often, and noticed that i have barely lossed any wieght will the extra weight gained on my face and body go away when i stop taking prednisome? I would really appreciate it if anyone could answer my questions thank u.=) Yes most of any weight that you gain on prednionse will be lost when you stop taking it. But if you have lupus you might have to take it for a while to stabilize yourself. I have three people in my family that have lupus and they were on prednisone for a while but when they stabilized and were taken off they lost the extra weight. At your age your are most likely finished growing. You are not on a high dose of prednisone. If you have concerns ask your doctor. You have a right to do that. |
