Hello,

I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome when I was 5. I then beat it when I was 12 but had a relapse when I was 14 then another one the following year when I was 15. I was given prednisolne both times and I didnt really have any bad side effects. I was more hungry and gained the moonface symptom after the second week because I was taking high dosages. I then got another relapse yesterday and I'm 18 now. I had diarrhea too. I received prednisole again but with much lower dosages. I took 30mg today and I already lost all my appetite, I get bloated easily and I'm constipated so I don't poop a lot. Now I have a mild stomach pain which is not bad and I can handle it. I talked about it with my doctor and got told to just stay on the cycle as it would probably go away. Anyone got any tips? Just want to make sure everything is normal.

Thanks
