Long term prednisilone

Has anybody managed to lose weight while on ever increasing doses of steroids?
I also have poor mobility and fatigue.
I am really trying to cut down and doing exercise when I can but I have gained over 15kg and getting so depressed.
My doctor says I can't stop the steroids.
My blood sugar is fine as is my blood pressure.
I just feel ashamed at the moment. I am sure people just think I am lazy and fat.

You're not lazy, you know that. Like yourself, I take not long term steroids because he won't let me Angry, but I am on them for at least 6 months a year, and my mobility varies.

I'm 16 stone 7, and 5 foot 7 which makes me very overweight, but I'm starting today. Care to join me and we can keep each other going? X
