I have gained 4 pounds in the past few days!!! I don't know if it is from the Sulfasalazine or Folic Acid...if it is just water weight or WHAT, but I just recently lost weight, NOT happy about putting it back on, especially a few weeks before my Cruise!!!!
Anyone have any insight on this.....PLEASE!!!Well coming from someone that just ate an enormous piece of cake last night my only advice is don't do what I do do as I say.....exercise,drink lots of water and stay away from salt.I have gained somewhere around 5 or more pounds in amonth.I lost 60 til this month,been home sick,on pred. and laying around on a heating pad.No workout in any of that.But the main thing I would share with you is just have a good time on your cruise,don't worry about those small pounds you have gained.You are gonna have a great time,you deserve it.

I'm probable not the best person to ask...especially right now. I've just come off a 10 run with predisone and I've been eating like a horse!!
That stuff makes me so hungry. As soon as I finish eating I'm thinking about what I'm going to eat next. I've never been like that...only on predisone. Luckily for me I only had 10 days of it....but the hunger is still sticking around somewhat; although the relief has worn off. Now how's that for unfair??
Sorry; I'm no help at all. Me, me, me. Sorry Staci.
Um, are you on pred? It is the only think I have taken that made me gain weight. Look up your meds on the net to see if people have gained weight on them.
I just stopped Pred, and I have NO apetite, since I am on MTX. I love it.
I have heard that Predisone will make you gain weight. I am worried about this myself. It has taken me close to two years to almost get to my goal weight. I am within 5 lbs of it and now they want me on Pred I'm not on Pred., so it must be water weight. I wonder if I can take Lasex (sp?) to release the excess water? Thanks guys
