I took high doses of steroids when I was a young teen for a autoimmune disease (was touted as my miracle cure) I blame those steroid injections for so many things and my weight was definitely one of them.

If your on them for short term you should be able to shed the weight must watch diet closely as steroids tend to cause hunger and water retention.

Is steroids something you must use constantly?

Not what you're looking for?
