Default Need a MrsD Consultation, please...

Well, I didn't know if you were open for business, but I see you have been very busy posting, so maybe it is OK to ask a question.

Due to long term steroid use, I have the typical problems with fat redistribution, especially around the face and in the middle. I don't know what you call that, lipo something or other...

Anyway, I am supposed to lose weight and a pharmacist here did not think I would lose it out of this middle area, because it is not weight gained in the normal sense, but a redistribution of fat into these specific areas (neck at collarbone, face, upper back and the MIDDLE).

So, how can I get rid of this??? Or can I? If I understand this correctly, I will lose weight in other places, which will leave me standing on toothpicks, unless I am totally off of Prednisone, which I don't think is going to happen...

Now what does one do to get rid of the weight in the middle???

It is really hard to lose weight on Prednisone. I lost 4 pounds before I broke down and ate a big Mexican food dinner tonight...
