Facial changes
Posted , 10 users are following.
I was diagnosed with PMR in March 2013. Now on 8mgms prednisilone daily. On the whole I am doing well, no pain, balance poor some days , often fatigued but my main problem is my big fat face. I barely recognise myself. When does this improve?
Grateful for any input.
Regards Caroline

I know it is a shock when you suddenly develop rosy hamster cheeks - but there are no wrinkles on a balloon as one of our ladies used to say! My chubby cheeks may have gone - but I have wrinkles now...

My brother said I had "a more youthful appearance," so I decided to go with that point of view.
At 7.5 mg, my fat face still looks like a stranger's, but wrinkles are beginning to reappear. Good news or bad about my appearance? I am not sure. I'm not crazy about the limp hair either, but the main thing is that the inflammation is being controlled.
