Muscle gain while on Prendisone???

[Grim Divinity]

Ok.. I start Prendisone tomorrow 9 5mg tabs a day... I need to know if it is at all possible to gain muscle while on a catabolic steroid. I just got out of the hospital a month ago so I am severely under weight (170 lbs). My muscle is coming back quickly but I'm afraid that the prendisone is going to stop it totally.

Do you guys have any knowledge on this? I'm not on any anabolic steroids by the way. I've been natural for 1 and half now.

I'd like to know this too. I might be prescribed Prendisone as soon as next week for Kidney failure... I'm going to ask my Specialist to exhaust every other treatment option first though. After I saw what Prednisone did to a friend of mine a few years ago... I swear, I don't want to go near that drug. Earlier tonight at dinner, I started crying when I was telling my mom what it did to my friend Phil... I've never seen a drug cause sides like that before. He looked like he had Cushings Syndrome... massive amounts of swelling and water retention. I can't put my body through that.

I hear it breaks down muscle, maybe lift hard eat lots of protein.
I will never take again, harsh on liver! 25mgs are

yes it will add 'mass' but not the mass you want and then its when you take the meds for a long time, years in some cases months in other. not a good idea to try and grow while on prednisone. if your doctor thinks you need it then there is something wrong and you should worry about getting and staying well.

Well I do need it for my colitis... but I don't want to stop working out. Working out is my life. If I stop working out then this disease has totally won.

I will be taking it for six weeks... hopefully that will put me in remission and then I will be able to gain for sure. It would be nice to know if it is possible at all to gain even a little muscle while on it.

Good luck GD. Make sure to keep us posted on what transpires with the treatment... its important for me know.

my girlfriend has been on it twice and it made her blow up like a pufferfish. It has no anabolic properties. It will make you eat out of control and retain tons of water. It will give you fat deposits on your body that you will have trouble loosing for the rst of your
life It will give you energy and that is about it. I would not touch it with a 10' pole

Yeah, me neither, but these 2 guys need it for severe medical problems; they don't have much of a choice. You're right about the potential sides, BUT those sides are dose and duration dependent, and many of them are reversible, if the course of treatment is not too chronic.

Bro, do so research

you have the internet at your hand; get online and research treatment for your conditiond, maybe even get a docs consultation. Sometimes they are free. Ive got to believe there are other treatment options. Good luck
