When will these chipmunk cheeks go away?...
Posted , 6 users are following.
Just curious... As I reduce pred, at what dosage might I expect these chipmunk cheeks to go away? Or am I stuck with them for the duration? I'm currently at 10mg.

I don't refuse to eat carbs - almost no rice, potatoes, pasta, bread and cakes as a general rule. But if it needs to be I don't have a hissy fit, I just go back to normal for me asap.

And before anyone tells me that it is wrong to demonise a food group/vegetables - I'm not. I am pointing out that some healthy foods contain quite a bit of carbohydrate and if you decide to try limiting carbs you have to reduce the amount of them you eat. I do still eat some root veg, especially carrots for example, but not in the vast quantities in which I eat leafy veggies and salads!

Iam now at 5.5mgms and they are barely
noticeable. I know how you feel, I was so
despondant before they started to go.

The chipmunk/hamster cheeks are not all bad - when they go you have wrinkles again
