Ok I have Lupus, and my kidneys are really bad so I have been on Prednisone and cytoxan(chemo) for the past 3.5 months(and will be on it for another 4 months).I stopped working out totally 3months ago and now my kidneys are doing much better as a result of the 60mg of prednisone ive been taking. in that time I have lost 27lbs. and my BF is the same. my arms went from 16.5 to 13" and my legs are TINY. all my muscles are really soft like doughy feeling right now.
what I want to know is, will I be able to regain my lost muscle while still on prednisone, since pred is catabolic? i'm also on a real strick diet where i can only eat 60g of protein a day, and I weigh 165lbs.
well if any one has some ideas please send them my way, ive been itching to get back to the gym (just been really depressed lately, but now since I got some really good blood work back im pretty excited now).
