Dawn,
I understand your frustration. It is best to just let it fly. This forum is an excellent for vents whenever you need to. I know what you mean about wanting your face and body back. We had my mother's birthday party last week and I was just looking at some photos, I did not recognize myself. Somebdody should have told me that I have turned into the pillsbury doughgirl. I am on a taper now so hopefully I can start to get some of this weight off soon.
You have managed this disease for forty years, my hat is off to you. I hope that you get off the pred and start to feel better soon.
Take care ~ Melanie
