Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to put some weight on?

Eat more.

I have polymyalgia and I've
lost about 14 lbs. I didn't need to loss any. I eat more than I ever
did,
but doesn't seem to help..
I'm also on prednisone....

Prednisone causes some people to lose their appetite.

[Begin]

Side Effects of This Medicine [Corticosteroids Glucocorticoid Effects
(Systemic)]

[. . .]

Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention.
These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to
the medicine. However, check with your doctor if any of the following
side effects continue or are bothersome:

More common

Increased appetite; indigestion; **loss of appetite** (for triamcinolone

**emphasis** added.

only); nervousness or restlessness

[Begin]
Increased appetite and weight gain. Prednisone increases your appetite.
Follow a diet to maintain your weight. Develop an eating schedule and
stick to it. If you eat when you feel hungry, you will be eating all the
time.

Don's correct.

Actually, the words are not Don's.

Prednisone usually increases appetite.

Correct is your implication that prednisone causes a decrease in
appetite in some people.

See **emphasis**.

What is written in parenthesis following the **emphasis** that only
triamcinolone can cause loss of appetite is wrong.

May GOD continue to heal your heart by curing your diabetes, dear
neighbor Jeff whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

As for knowing who are the very elect, these you will know by the
unconditional love they have for everyone including their enemies
(Matthew 5:44-45, 1 Corinthians 13:3, James 2:14-17).
