How's he doing, Aneinu? The high doses of Prednisone should be giving him a nice aurge of strength and appetite (hence the joke above about Klondike ice cream bars I think) but also maybe a nice surge of, um, emotions and wakefulness, to put it nicely. Anyway, thinking of you two
Birdie can post a pic of a Klondike Bar. It will taste very good to your son and be his reward for getting the treatment and starting to recover!
Not sure where you are or if these are available, but I'm sure there are substitutes available (though Birdie might argue.)

Thank you to all of you.
The appetite we have seen.
He can't stop eating.
Sushi, meat and candy.
The strength we have not seen.
Thank you again

Beware of imitations.
High dose prednisone boosts metabolism, skyrockets metabolism is more accurate. More food is needed just to maintain weight and energy. Doctors say not to worry about weight gain, I think because it's normal on pred, but it doesn't have to happen. It's hard to shed the extra weight so I watched it carefully and didn't gain weight. But hey, getting Wegener's under control is the primary concern right now.
Birdie!!! I want to come live there! I admire you're food shopping skills! Ha! And I'm not even on pred! Yet! Deb. Now visualizing Klondike bars in my head......
Birdie,nice move off setting the Klondike bars,with the fat free ice cream!!! U should have put a bag of lettuce next to the Klondikes! Birdie you're a riot.... Deb. Dreading pred,but dreaming of klondike bars.....
