this has also happened to my husband. He has been on prednisone since February and has lost 25 pounds. His muscles are so weak. He looks like a skeleton. Most of the doctors just blow it off and say that prednisone causes weight gain, not weight loss, so it must be something else. But it started with the prednisone, which was prescribed for PMR. We are trying to wean him off of it before he just wastes completely away. I hate this drug. You never know how any particular body is going to react to a synthetic version of a natural drug. The reason for prednisone is that it is patentable by drug companies. When are we going to wake up. A synthetic drug can do terrible things to your body.
