Steroid and hunger question - where did it go?

I'm sure I read a question and about steroids, hunger and weight gain yesterday but I can't see it today.

[devonshiredumpling]

yes, you did. I can't find it anywhere either - not in the blogs or the questions. Strange eh?

Phew, not going bonkers then. Well..... not about that anyway

[devonshiredumpling]

If you ask a question you can delete it can't you? Maybe the questioner decided to take it down? I assume that would delete anything in the thread - cos I answered!

Ah ok. That's a shame, I hope he or she is ok. I seem to remember they started of with an apology and thought the question trivial. If that person is reading this I would like to say that no question is trivial - if it's important to you then it is important and we all respect that.

which, as I'm sure you can imagine, is more or less what I said - although not quite so concisely, of course xx

Marmot,

I feel the same I hate the fact my body doesn't work like it should and the medication makes me gain weight!

It's horrible that we feel ill without feeling down about our weight gain, lm a pilates teacher and have to stand in front of classes of people, I wish I had a t shirt with, I'm on steroids hence the weight gain!!!!

However I have noticed if I eat a high protein gi style diet it seems to help control my hunger abit also help with the bloating I get from the steroids.

Take care..... It's not wrong to have normal worries about the way we look, it's normal.

Hi Anna

Thank you for your kind words and tips I will also try those :).

That's such a good idea about the t-shirt. Just had a massive flare up and am back on hight dose steroids. I am due to go to an event this weekend and I definitely think that t-shirt would come in useful!

Do you find you cope well with Pilates? I used to be an avid gym goer and horse rider and had to give both up at the moment. I hate not being as active as I want to be.

I used to teach personal training but to be honest I'm so hit and miss with how I feel it's impossible.

Pilates is good for me especially because I teach it, so I don't actually do most of it, I demonstrate, but when I'm well enough I do go to classes, which is good as it's helps keep the muscles conditioned, also helps with my posture and balance, and since I keep getting numb legs and loosing my balence its very useful...

It's is so horrible to feel bad about your body, I know it was what made me most depressed in the beginning. I know it sounds very shallow but that and loosing very my hair was the worst.

I just tell people now that I'm on medication which makes me gain weight. I also try to buy beautiful clothes that make me feel good and outrageous shoes...

Have a good time and remember you are the same beautiful person you've always been.
