I posted a thread very simmilar to this the other day. These medications have lowered my self esteem so much, just from the physical side effects(I wont rant about the emotional ones). I used to be a very toned athlete before the flare. My hair was healthy & full, I had clear skin, beautiful teeth & al the bells and whistles. Now, I'm getting acne all over my chest/back/face, I developed the inevitable moon face for the first time ever a few weeks ago(I guess I knew it should be coming after being on steroids for two months), my hair's a mess, I have bruises all over me, my nails are cracking constantly etc. Sometimes it seems the side effects are worse than the symptoms, so I feel your pain
My weight's been up & down so much it's rediculous. I can gain 5 pounds in one day and be constipated then the next week I'm forcing myself to eat because I somehow lost 10 pounds and am constantly having 'D'. For the most part though, I look like a petite, bloated, wrinkly, bruised up girl from the neck down and a chipmunk in the face. I try to avoid the pictures of myself on FB as much as possible Hahhahahhaa
