I'm a 22 year old who was diagnosed with dermatologists a couple months ago. I've been on different doses of steroids ranging from 5mg to 60mg for 5 months now. i was on 60mg the longest and just went down to 40mg. i go down to 30 mg next month. so far my side effects are moon face, swollen areas around my neck and collar bone, weight gain like 15 lbs, always have to wake up in the middle of the night and pee, my knees get shooting pains sometimes at night, light hair by my ears like sideburns, tired, helps with my muscle weakness a little, my eyesight seems blurry sometimes, chest always feels tight. I'm also on Methotrexate, Bactrim, folic acid, and Fosamax. it might be a reaction form all these but i think its mainly from the Prednisone. i cant wait to get down to the lower doses. i look like a different person and even tho all my family and friends know its still embarrassing. i fell like a whole different person. i cant wait to be normal again.

Thanks everyone, this site has been so helpful to me.
I didn't make the connection with my side effects and Yasmin. I attributed all of them to something else. I have had anxiety, severe stomach pain, bloating (like I was pregnant), bad indigestion and horrible gas (yuck), my breasts are bigger and sore all the time, no matter what I do I can't seem to drop this extra 5 pounds (I eat very healthy and work out 5-6 times a week), my chin breaks out constantly (although other areas have cleared up), and oddly the area above my lip has darkened (even though I get my lip waxed regularly and have light hair). I had my first yeast infection in my life on Yasmin, which I've been taking for 4 months.

I found a reason for all of these things until my stomach started cramping and bloating so bad (in addition to the gas...constantly), that I was in tears. I called my mom (a nurse practioner) and she suggested it might be the Yasmin. Then I found this website and am not going to take another pill. Thank goodness, I found this out. My gyno said to make an appointment with the gastrointerologist and that it might be an ulcer or IBS. I can't wait to be normal again.
