During my most recent flare, my doc put me on a prednisone taper, which is pretty standard. After stopping the pred, I noticed that I was still gaining weight (15 pounds) so far, I developed strech marks all over my thighs and breasts, my periods became terribly irregular, moon face, and just all over swollen and bloated. My doctor confirmed that it was cushingnoid syndrome and said it would go away in 3-6 months. I've never felt so insecure on my life. My appearance, the way I feel. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything to do to make this go away faster?!
