Is there a way to lose weight while on prednesone, dx with sarcoidosis over 15 years ago lesions in heart & lungs and joint pains. I have also had problems with synocope insidents, head aches,diabetes and confussion. I have continually been on the steroid to help with problems associated with sarcoidosis. But the weght keeps going up and up from 160 lbs to 279lbs I don't eat a lot but the fluid bills up and I continue to gain weight no matter what I do.
