They put me on pregnisone 2 weeks ago, 40 mg a day. I have not gained any weight yet. I am less hungry than I was before, I even forget to eat sometimes. I believe most of the weight gain is suppose to be water retention but I have not experienced any swelling yet. It has put me in a better mood and made me less tired. It has not relieved the muscle weakness though. I am having a very hard time sleeping. I do not think I have reached a therapeutic level for me. I have to measure my blood sugar every day now to make sure it does not go to high. If it does, they will try cellcept instead. I start back to work on Monday. I am not sure how well I will function without sleeping. My GP is not happy about the pregnisone.
