Prednisone and weight gain

Hi all,

My 5-year-old has recently started on Prednisone. So far the side-effects have been ok - he is a little bit more emotional and his appetite has increased but that's all. I've been pretty strict with his diet, but I'm still concerned about future weight gain.

I'm interested to hear others experiences - if weight gain was an issue, and how long was your child on Prednisone before it became an issue?

So far so good. None of the side effects seen. He gained 2.5 lbs in two weeks. I just think it's growth sleet. Been on it since July 1.
