So, am now at 15mg. and tapering, go see the GI again this Wed. Hopefully, we go down to 10mg. My question is, what would be the average (I know we all are different, size, shape, side effects) weight loss when you start tapering to 10 then to nothing? I would assume it would first be just the water weight retention...then hopefully a few pounds? I gained about
10 pounds so far...sigh. On a short 5'1 frame, you are getting pretty fluffy but still within healthy weight range. LOL 5 pounds looks like 20 on a munchkin like me. HA HA With that said, am feeling terrific now, like my old self and in my second week of Imuran as well. Figure I will be on that one for a long while. I feel very fluffy around my lower back, side, tummy area as noted the re-distribution of fat in the core. Wonder if that will go away? OR will I look like I am now just a bit smaller when I get off of this concerning the side effects? I luckily have a flat belly normally and to wake up with a distended stomach and just spongy feeling fat everywhere SUCKS! I know this is something a lot of us deal with this side effect.
Again, yes, we all are different but just wondered if someone can give me a general answer how this works when you are now getting close to 10mg. Basically for me, no MOON FACE, just fat mid section, think my vision is a little blurry, sometimes shaky, scale went up from 110 to 119 and at least it isn't climbing anymore, has definitely helped with my BM's...now about
4-5 day and much more formed. No cramping or tenderness, lower back aches, etc. YAY!
Your thoughts!? Thank you!
That's my story...LOL
