Wish I could tell you something, but I'm like the more normal/common group who *gain* weight on steroids, partly because I can't stop eating when I'm on them!
I looked like a moon!
No way I could have lost weight if I had tried...took years to get the weight off for me...are you eating or are you hyper? Some rare cases get so hyper that I guess it could happen...where is your appetite? If you are eating like crazy and still losing weight then I would tell your doctor...there might be something else going on that the cortisone ticked off. (I am thinking hyperthyroidism)
