I know it won't make you feel any better, but I had the exact same breakout that you are experiencing after I delivered my first child 15 years ago. Every day for 7 days I drove myself 40 miles 1 way to get steroid shots...with a brand new baby along for the ride! The breakout started to clear up after day 4 or 5, but I looked horribly scarred for several months. My son's 6 month pictures were the first ones in which no one could detect any sign of my 'delivery rash'. Hope all goes well with your steroid treatment...don't worry it'll all be over soon & you'll be quite a few pounds lighter by that time! Good Luck!

AWW Wendy! I'm sorry, I wish I could make you feel better! Don't worry about the 7lbs they come back off but, I think you should avoid the low fat brownies!LOL

Oh how I wish I could avoid those damn brownies! It amazes me how something you take makes you so hungry. The Dr. said it does something to your sugar - but its weird, I want real food - like meat, potatoes - I thought I would just crave sweets, but NOPE, about 2 hours after I eat, I feel like I haven't eaten in a week. Growling stomach and all! I hate steroids.

I sure hope it goes away soon. Right now, they go away for a few hours after each dose (6 doses today), but they come back before the next dose. I am taking SCUBA lessens on the 2nd of Sept and an outdoor Concert (Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry) on the 6th. I can't imagine doing either of them with this. I look horrible and feel like crap.

Thankfully I have my online friends who can laugh with me and make me feel better :-) Thanks guys

Ok, so I'm changing my post because I just saw that this was from 2008 LOL
