Hey Kendra,

I've been on at least 60mgs of prednisone since the end of July (so a little over 3-months). I haven't gained any weight, maybe a pound or two. However, my face has swollen to almost three times its normal size. I know it's a downer, but it's a given that it could happen. I'm not sure if that's much of a problem on a lower dosage, though. Also, reducing the amount of salt in the diet helps with the swelling. I notice a difference if I've eaten potato chips, or fast food of some sort each day or not in regards to the swelling.
