Me too. I need a kidney transplant but there's no way I'm getting another one because they said this time I'll have to be on lots of steroids, and I've been on them before. I gained 15lbs of fluid mostly in my face, hands, and arms. I'm a short person so 15lbs is a LOT.  (And in b4 "medication is not an excuse", when I was on it it was 10 years ago and while I exercised a lot more I didn't change my diet. So some of the weight gain could have been from that, and now that I know better if I was on steroids again I probably could keep the weight down to a 8lb gain. There really isn't any way of escaping it. Prednizone makes your face specifically blow up, they call it moon face as part of the side effects.) So I guess the point I am trying to make here is that I would rather live a brutal life on dialysis forever, and die young, than be fat.
