Whole body edema?: Whole body edema is anasarca.   Goggle and look at pictures to see if you look like that. One issue is almost always eating more salt than you per out.  Get the app Cronometer and see how much sodium you are eating.  How much is too much? When you swell it is too much.  Discuss with your team. Be certain albumin has been tested.

Question 8

does ccortisone shots cause weight gain? if so, how much weight?

Accepted Answer

Cortisone shots: Cortisone shots are done for a lot of reasons.  A shot into a joint may relieve arthritis pain, at least temporarily.  But cortisone has many side effects. Yes, you gain weight, but also shift fat to the midsection. You get Insulin resistant, which can lead to diabetes. It can weaken your bones: osteoporosis.  Your body can tolerate an occasional shot, but this should not be done lightly.

Question 9

can coffee cause weight gain if consume too much?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: Not from the coffee itself; however, if you use sugar and/or cream or milk, you add calories which, if consumed in excess, can add weight over time. After a long time, the caffeine may affect the function of your adrenal glands, which can result in difficult weight management later on.

Question 10

i will take this medicine for 3 weeks.it may cause of weight gain .how much time will be taken to reduce the side effects of omnacortil?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The weight gain is mostly from increased appetite.  Whatever you have eaten extra , you will need to cut back by the same.   Your metabolism will also favor fat instead of muscle production, thus even getting back to the same weight would still net you extra fat unless you do muscle training exercises to bulk yourself backup.
