Need Medication For 3 Liver Condition And Severe Fatigue
I am trying to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight . I am on prednisone and will continue for at least 3 years. I am on a 2000 calorie a day intake. I just recovered from a double mascetomay and I am now at the point that I can start a daily exercise routine. I have stage 3 liver condition so I struggle with severe fatigue. However I am determined to lose this weight and maintain it. I have gained 30 pounds over a period of 6 months.I am discouraged because of the FAT the prednisone has cause . Please reassure me that I can overcome this with proper diet and exercise. Suggestions welcomed.
