Plus the fluid weight retained from the infusion. 1 liter for 5 days is havoc.

Yep my appetite grew when on steroids, also trying to get rid of the metallic taste I get

No, I actually lost weight after each steroid IV session. Made it hard to eat, but it was also the terrible hospital food. Lol

and any suggestions on how to manage this weight gain?

thanks everyone for answering this question. here’s another question: how till you saw the weight gain? i didn’t see it right away, it wasn’t till like 3 or 4 months after i got the infusion, i look i. the mirror one day and looked like i blew up over night!!! is this normal? i try to be active.
