I was first diagnosed for vasculitis when it was 2018 and now its 2022. I have been in Steriods for past 5 years the doses gets lower and again resubmission happens TADA Again start with high dose. I always have hard time coping with my moon face i am okay with having corlilone but i don't want to have moonface it destroys my selfesteem i was little fat from the beginning and having to have cortilone more weight. i had rheumatoid arthritis. Can anyone suggest how do i cope with moonface besides lowering my dose Its been 5 years and moon face has not left me since then.
