[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1429183, member: 221545"] I think it's a safe bet it's steroid induced. I suppose it was easy for me to identify it as the cause because I had been warned by at least 6 renal doctors in advance of my operation....a clear risk (worth taking in my case...and probably in many, including yours). I had no issues with weight gain at all at any stage in my life (then 53 years) nor any real problems with diet or lifestyle. No doubt as to the cause at all. You might think it's not important at this stage what caused it, but it does let you know that you will benefit from avoiding the steroids where possible...each dose of prednisolone still causes a spike for a few hours in my case...so you would do well to eat around them, avoiding high carbs until the level has come down a bit. I hope the infections lessen. They wear you down, eh? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
