Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Prednisone causes fluid retention which means weight gain. I took 5mg per day and was told that was a minimal dose. Right. A rheumatologist told me that I had at least 20 pounds of fluid in me. Prednisone can cause hypertension but I don't know if it is the drug itself or the increase in weight from edema and actual weight gain. Prednisone increases appetite. Then, less mobility and chubette (in my case). I won't go into age and decreasing metabolism LOL http://www.funbug.com/fun/fb_entry?LSID=37264 http://www.gothruus.com/refer.pl?refid=newfpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
