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.

    Thank you all, for your replies.  Nice to know that I'm not alone, and that this weight gain and added fat are normal.  I just reduced to 10, so will be here for a little while.  I'm going to summon up some will power to start restricting carbs this week.  I've been doing so very half-heartedly.... time to get serious!!   Thanks for the help!
