Sorry to hear about your condition. Steroids taken in large amounts or for a long time will give most persons Cushing's. I have it in a major way and completely understand how you feel. I don't even look like the same person. The last time I was in my home town visiting my parents, I saw many people I had gone to school with and they had no idea who I even was when I approached them! I hate to leave my home because every time I do, I see people looking at me with that..."I wonder what's wrong with her" look on their face. I gained from 138 to 211 because of prednisone. I have had 1 round of kenalog injections into the muscles around my eyes to enable me to come off the prednisone. I have thyroid eye disease. I have lost down to 180 and hope to see the 170's real soon! It HAS been a very long time! I don't think I have had any adverse effect from the kenalog...YET! It is wearing off, so I will have to have more injections soon. One word of caution...if you use salt...try to learn to eat without it...it makes a difference.
