The prednisone you were likely put on is causing the weight gain and fullness in your face.  This should disappear as they taper your dose downwards.  Do not stop it abruptly.

You may want to talk to your doctor about trying something like Imuran - an immune suppressant.  It can put you into total remission for years.  My son has been on it for about a year and a half and is feeling wonderful.
