Prednisone alone can really affect your weight. My daughter had to take it & another steroid for asthma and gained 5 lbs in one week!
But a little off the topic - I guess I should thank insensitive people for probably saving my life. When I was 19, I looked into going into the navy for the college funding. I aced the little test that they give you at the office and the recruiters got me all hyped up. Then a particularily gruff recruiter weighed me, looked at me like I was an insignificant ant, and said - "You need to loose some weight". Needless to say - I walked out and never thought about that again. My weight at the time - 135 lbs & I'm 5"8 1/2. However because of that stupid chart - my ideal weight is supposed to be 125. Yeah - right.
