I've been on predinisone for several days and noticed that today my appetite has suddenly grown. I knew this was bound to happen, so I bought myself a ton of veggies so that I wouldn't gain weight. Veggies = no go. I ate through them all afternoon and now I'm working on a serving of dorito chips/dip. I just feel ravenous for certain types of food. After a couple of months of being 'good' I can't stop thinking about french fries, cheeseburgers, potatoes, ..... I can't figure out if this is real or psychological and how to manage it.
Because my initial dose was too 'conservative' I've been changed up to a higher dose and now the time frame has increased by double.
I don't care about the mood swings that come with prednisone. Don't mind having trouble sleeping. DO. MIND. weight gain. I am feeling really upset that I'm so hungry.
Can people who've been on steroids and have successfully gotten through the desire to binge eat please share their tips? I know we've discussed this before...I need encouragement though.
