For anyone who was on a high dose of prednisone; when did you start to see the "moon face" go away? I was on 60mg and now I am at 20mg and it has gone down a little. Just curious about anyone else experience.

I started at 80mg. and now at 5mg.for about 1yr. "moon face"
gone for now.. Sometimes I have swelling around eyes.
I think my moonface went down at about 15-20mg. At 10mg., it is gone.

Rest in Peace, my brave Batman and take care of your weggies from heaven, until we meet again.
Hi I started, this time, at 80 down to 7.5 the moon face started to go when I got to 10 but the weight i gained is still here. I'm working on getting rid of it but it seems like a very slow process. Good luck!
