Hey guys! I'm new here so I apologize if I do this wrong :( but anyway a quick little about
me, I'm 19 and been on prednisone for universal ulcerative colitis since JULY 2015. Well after trying asacol and apriso, I'm now on humira, I just had my first dose of it on Wedneaday (the 25th) this is kind of my last hope before surgery unfortunately. It's very scary and yeah :/ I've tried tapering off of prednisone a few times now (per doctors orders) and failed because my body just can't seem to function without it. But we're going to try again! So I was on 40mg, and I went down to 30mg yesterday..i will now go down 5mg every week and HOPEFULLY take my last 5mg prednisone pill January 07.
Now to my actual question. I know I will be losing some of the water weight and hopefully my nasty fat face...I went from starting at 96lbs to now I'm 140lbs
but while I am tapering off of it, is it possible to lose weight ? Or should I just wait till I'm off the medicine?
I want to try taking plexus to help the process and also eating healthier. But I just don't know if that will work while I'm still on the steroids because I know that regardless these pills make you gain!
any tips, tricks, or insight will be appreciated !! <3
