YES! I have had a problem with weight gain..but my thyroid is fine. I may be

wrong but I do not think it is the Snickers, Hersheys, 3 Musketeers, Cokes,

Chips/Dips, ice cream, pop corn, nachos, doughnuts, fries and other CR-P I just

crave!! There are times I need the junk soooo bad. I can blame mine on the

steroids, I still am on 8 mg a day, and I can blame mine on the fact that if I

walk more than 30 feet, my knees HURT sooo much and I get so tired, I have to

stop and rest..so I can't 'exercise' much or it hurts! When I was on a higher

dose of steroids..44 mgs a day, I lost weight..so much so that all the Dr.s did

not like it..Now I am on a lower dose, I gain the weight..GRRRRR but the Dr.s

are happy (I am not!) Some day there will be a balance..Diane..42
