Irresistible...forgive me if I'm breaking a rule, please.🥺🥺

[Grammy80]

This was so fitting.....at least for me!

[Blackcatlover]

I called Prednisone my face lift drug. All the wrinkles in my face disappeared. Especially the lines around my mouth. I always called them puppet mouth.🥴

[Grammy80 in reply to Blackcatlover]

Isn't that the truth!!😂😂 💖

[Marcy47 in reply to Blackcatlover]

So true, however I have just dropped to 6mg and I have new wrinkles around my mouth and eyes that were not there before I started on Pred 5yrs ago. Boo Hoo!

Hi Grammy. I sent a picture of myself to my Australian family beside a huge Easter Egg and had to point out which was me. 😂 Such is life!

[Grammy80 in reply to SheffieldJane]

You are eggsagerating, I'm sure. 💖

[YuliK in reply to Grammy80]

Grammy, please don’t egg Sheffield Jane on ...😉

I've experienced numerous pred side effects, but never the moon face! I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Marijo1951]

Me neither - chubbier, but not moon-like

[YuliK in reply to PMRpro]

At least you haven’t been diagnosed with buffalo Hump. Since Rheumatologist said that’s what I’ve developed, I try to keep my shoulders back and head up. 🤣

[Grammy80 in reply to YuliK]

.....not yet, anyway.💖

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to YuliK]

I did have one, it just about went when I lost weight - but I already have a step in my spine about that position anyway!

[LemonZest11 in reply to Marijo1951]

Nor I ... but there’s still time! 😂

[borednow in reply to Marijo1951]

No, you're not. As a person with a long thin face (think Uriah Heap), I was really looking forward to the moon face. Ha, I should be so lucky!!

[Longtimer in reply to Marijo1951]

Saggier jowels, like everything else.....comes with age too....

[Marijo1951 in reply to Marijo1951]

The funny thing is that I was expecting it to happen. Before I became ill, the only person I'd known who had been treated with steroids was my Uncle Frank, who went from being a skinny little whippet to being the Michelin Man in a matter of weeks, complete with a face like Humpty Dumpty. Nevertheless he remained a lovely person and the ideal uncle.

[Constance13 in reply to Marijo1951]

Nope! I didn't get it either.

[Viv54]

OH how i know this feeling !!! haha !

[Tayzee]

😂😂yes I can relate to this... I hardly recognise myself in the mirror anymore and have put on over a stone! 🙈🙄😏...

[Pixix]

Oh, yes! Thanks for a Monday morning smile! S x

[jinasc]

I loved my Moon face and wanted it to stay forever, no chance it went and a 'chicken neck' appeared and it has stayed.

Once in Spain we got lost looking for a specific garage, we stopped and asked none of us speaking Spanish, the reply was look for the 'cheep cheep' poster. Bewildered we went on - then a big poster with a chipmunk appeared right next door to the place we needed to be.

Thanks Grammy80 for making me smile this morning and remembering happier times.

[Grammy80 in reply to jinasc]

My pleasure....happy to think I made you smile~!💖

[HappyDiamonds]

Thank you for the chuckle, I can totally relate and have saved the picture. Very Best Wishes to you Grammy80

[HeronNS]

Awww, but he's so adorable.

[LookingForHelp1]

Omg! THANKS for the chuckle!! I experienced every dang side effect from Pred (or at least it felt like it) that I had to go off. Currently on Diclofenac. Is helping but not as effective as Pred but at least my “moon face” is subsiding ...... little by little.
