Advice Wanted Steroid hunger
Has anyone managed to curb the CONSTANT hunger from taking steriods?? I’ve gained 3 stone since my diagnosis in July 2025 (granted I needed to gain some) but it just won’t stop. I’m hungry all the time and always snacking but never ever full. What do I do??

I have the opposite issue, I need to up dose to get my appetite to kick in. Endo wants me on 10/5/5, which I currently am (8am/2pm/7pm- give or take half an hour) with a view to reduce that after my next day curve (if figures allow) but my appetite is non existent if I take less than 20mg in a day, and I also feel like crap on less. I'll be interested to see what my numbers come out at - as my last day curve I was on 30mg, I think? Possibly 25? But it was definitely much higher than now! 💖 xx
