I have eosinophilic asthma brought up by various allergies mainly for Aspergilus mold plus many more. Having a flare up now with thick mucous casts.
My readings of Eosinophils are very high at the moment.
I spoke to my consultant and he recommended to start taking Prednisolone, possibly longer term- will state on 40mg and taper down to 10 and then will see what he says.
I had it before in 2017 for a year or so and had no issues / put on weight about a half stone.
Stopped it as was doing fine .
Now I’m in panic state that I will put lot on weigh, I already put a bit during lockdown, will get a moon face, diabetes, brittle bones, immumocompromised etc.
( I’m quite small and short so every extra kilo is well visible on me)
Please tell me not everyone gets these.
