Subject: help: massive weight gain thr. usage of prednison

Help, I had polymyalgia rheumatica at the end of 1999. All my life I had 115 pounds, till the age of 49. From February 2000 till September 2004, I had to take prednison,daily, it started out with a dose of 65 mg, and was for years around 20, then 10 mg and so on, without in fact knowing what it was exactly. The first 10 days?, I gained weight from this medecin about 30 pounds, later even more. In 2004 an the end of the intake I topped a weight of 207 pounds, size 22. The first half year I got down to 172 pounds, without doing something. Then I got a one time prednison shot from a food doctor, because my toes were sleeping, without before telling me, what he in fact did. Otherwise I would have refused it... And by the way, this shot helped nothing, my toes are sleeping till now......
I was very upset about. And of course I gained weight again....after two weeks, it topped 193 again. My weight since 2005 is now still around 180 pounds. Even though I tried to diaet very hard, for months.
But there is no hope. I am looking still like a boxer, upper arms and upper legs are looking horrible and I am at a size of 12/14. Who can tell me, how I will be able to lose my overweight. I am flexible still, do exercices daily, which do not bring anything, I am walking, there is nothing I could do, to bring my weight finally down. And by the way, earlier the doctors all the time told me, that there will be no problems to get my old weight back, after all this.
I only cannot see the end of the tunnel. And now, the doctors mantain, that I can nothing do about, the weight will stay all the time, they say. And they cannot help me, there is no way, than they say to me, do diaet, which I do, which does not help at all. I am feeling very angry about the whole situation and do not know what to do. I want to have my 115 pounds back, which I all the time had in my life. I eat very less, without lots of calories, under 1000, which should bring a weight loss, my mother in law loses her weight easily, with the same intake of food, only with me, there is no success visible. And she even does not exercise, not one move....
Who can help me? Please help me.
