Hi Shannon!
Hey hon! Now it is time to worry just a bit! I used to have to literally push my jaw up and down in order to eat.......Have you told your dr about that? It is serious business!
Mestinon did not help with it, though it might in your case - I needed pred in order to eat - and boy did I eat @ the hosp! My neuro came in and was amazed @ how much I was wolfing down and how fast I was wolfong it down! LOL! He tld me then and there that most people on high doses of pred can (and usually do) gain around 100-150 lbs. It is not their fault. Pred just does that to them. I feel horrible about gaining 40 lbs, but I have kind of a small frame, so every pound shows on me!
Again, please call your dr IMMEDIATELY and let them know what is going on!
Big hugs!
Erin
