Unfortunately, there’s no way of avoiding the moon face! Does anyone else get steroid rages?

There’s no avoiding it. The moon face, the weight gain, the rage, there’s no avoiding any of it. Just gotta embrace it

My daughter has been on prednisolone since November 2024 for Crohn's. in January this year two discs in her back collapsed fracturing her spine. she spent nine weeks in hospital. She had to learn to walk again and now needs a wheelchair. Nobody told us steroids weaken your bones. Her life has been changed forever 😥

Everyone saying there’s no avoiding it and I didn’t get moon face at all. It made me ravenously hungry and thirsty but I’ve lost weight somehow

I’ve been on up to 80mg before. At any dose at or above 10mg, the moonface happened. Prednisone saved my life, but it’s got a tough side effect profile. I’m covered in striae that are permanent, bone density issues, had a lot of weight gain even whilst trying to monitor diet etc. But girl it was worth living. Good luck ♥️

I made a compromise with my doctor and tried a diff steroid called budesonide. It has less side effect chances than prednisone. Worth asking about

Beware of the after effects of steroids , if you’re only short term you should be okay but steroid withdrawal is something no one told me about 😭

everyone says “no way to avoid it” but i’ve been on prednisone for about 2 months and have done nothing but lose weight, so there is hope that you won’t swell up. not everyone is the same :)

No way to avoid unfortunately. I've been off steroids for 6 months and I spoke to my specialist who said it can take years to come down 😭
