MemberStarted with 100mg and began reducing the prednisone dose gradually after 5 months. Really felt like I was suffering severly from these high doses. My weight literally exploded, I was sweating all the time and usually short of breath. Things got better once a qualified neurologist tooke care of medication. Even though the prednisone dose was gradually scaled down to 5mg, all diet efforts seemed to be useless. I guess even on the 5mg level, my body still needed time to adapt. MG was diagnosed two years ago in June 2023. Took me until November 2024 to make real progress in losing weight.
