@itsdestinynoy: The “moon face” a common side effect from steroids. It is the redistribution of fat to your face, neck, and abdomen. In order to stop it is to stop taking the steroids. I am able to taper it to 20mg and eventually end it at 10mg. Will I ever come off of it? Not sure, because I definitely don’t want a flare up happening! I don’t recognize myself anymore. Having lupus definitely changed my appearance and I never knew my self-esteem would be affected so much. I try not to be hard on myself because I know it’s temporary but when change comes so fast it’s hard not to. #lupus #chronicillness #prednisone #moonface

My little sister had to take it for nephrotic syndrome and had SUPER moon face. It went away when she stopped taking it. A lot is water weight. I’m taking it now, started at 50mg and tapered down to 10mg for the time being. It sucks this is the magic pill and it makes us fat 🥲🥲

A gluten free diet might decrease some inflammation and flare ups.

You still look very pretty!!! But I understand because I am on prednisone too for myasthenia gravis. I also have moon face and feel like I look like a totally different person. I miss my old face 🥺

I hate pred so much but I can't live without it. I hate how other people point out my moon face and say "Oh I thought you're sick, how come you look healthy?" because they expect you to be thinner when you're sick.

yo no me reconocía en el espejo, mi espalda también se puso muy ancha, un dia rompi una camisa, y te dicen, se agradecida, lo importante es que estas bien, pero nadie entiende lo que se siente verte asi
