Re: Question about 'moon face'

[Guest guest]

Yes, that's how it looks. I don't think my face is as swollen as his

when I am on it but there is such a difference my family comments on

it.

You can see it in my last driver's license. I showed it to a doctor

when I was inpatient, she noticed right away that it was the

steroids. She told me I looked younger in person and that the

driver's license picture looked like I was on steroids. i think they

know women worry about their appearance so she took the time to tell

me I still looked young which is always nice to hear.

But Jerry L. also had something going on with his lungs and was on

Coumadin (blood thinners) like me. This drug bloats your stomach,

thins your skin like prednisone. How sexy is that -- a swollen face

and a bloated stomach. I look like the letter " S " most of the time.

LOL! Oh my!
