The rheumatologist on Monday said my RA has progressed, I should reduce stress, walk daily, do yoga, and lose weight to manage better. Also started cortisone again. So gave me a day to feel sorry for myself. I cried and had a good wallow session. Picked myself up this morning and went for a 5km walk. Started with morning shakes to which I add chia flaxeeds, gelatine, tumeric, cinnamon and fibre. No carbs b fast an lunch and limited for dinner. Also started taking CLA 3000. Seeing doc on 29 Jan again and weigh 95kg by then.

Good luck! I know prednisone can cause a lot of issues but just keep doing what you're doing and you'll come out right on top...

I was also on prednisone tabs. OMW.... It bloated me up so badly. Thank goodness I lost all that water weight. 7kgs.i feel so much better now that the water weight is gone. More energy and more active. Unlike before, couldn't sleep, do anything 😢 Now I'm aiming 1200 cals a day other than what fatsecret says 1900 cals.

Thank you CPF931. At least only a week on prednisone and then the doc is trying a new drug with potentially many side effects. Among them, she mentioned weight loss. I grinned from ear to ear and she said no not the nice kind of weight loss... I answered oh at this stage all weight loss for me is the nice kind... Well done Ladylees85.
