Alan, a mark of strength, 2 years of pushing on with whatever this darn diesease sends your way, bravo!
As for the weight, it is so unfair isn't it. We need these meds and one of the side effects is weight gain. I am on a taper right now, so I am not sure when I can start to get some of the weight off. I have been on steroids for almost a year so I am sure they stay in the system for a while.
I hope that you are feeling stong and good luck with the weight loss.
Take care ~ Melanie
