Yes, I was very active prior to MG. Did a lot, plus worked full time until my dd was born, then 3 mornings a week after. Loved to garden, cook, throw parties, walk daily, you name it. Seems a lifetime ago now.

I don't have swelling issues, but I did when I was on higher pred doses. Try upping potassium (I used capsules).

I never have had much problem with weight gain with pred. Gained about 15 pounds at one point, but lost it easily. Right now I'm a bit underweight due to the dysphagia. I'm currently very depressed, too, which is an appetite killer for me as well.

My dd loves puter, too. Webkinz and Stardolls keep her occupied. We have to totally restrict her during the schoolweek or she's impossible.

Catcha later.
