What in the world is happening. I started on Prednisone last christmas from 20mg to 10 mg down to 5 mg for the last two months.

Now I look and feel like a FAT SOW
 
Anyone out there feel the same way.  This is getting out of hand I'm going on Vacation in the next few weeks and I want to be able to move I think when I come back I'm going to taper off this med.  I can't take this bloated and fatness.
 
Anyone have any suggestions.Yep prednisone will bloat you. It has to do with your salt intake, I believe. I will bloat up if I drink cokes or carbonated drinks, but it usually goes away if I drink tea or water.
 
I hope you can figure something out to help with the bloating-ness. I have yet to figure out a solution.
