Problem with weight gain due to steriods and other meds.

As SS sufferers we tend to be treated with steriods and other meds that without any fault to ourselves make us expand out. It will normally start with a moon face and than expand to other parts of the body. In my case it is always the face, breast, midsection, tummy, bum and thighs. Not many of us are given the correct information by our consultants or nurses regarding diet. I have come across a blog written specifically for us sufferers. Take a look at the link.
