Just my luck…

So… in the past year, I have had several friends who have had to take medication - for one reason or another. In all cases, their medications caused them to lose significant amounts of weight.
Today, I went to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor because of a sore throat that was previously undiagnosable at UW’s Hall Health. The doctor put a scope up my nose and down my throat, only to determine that he wasn’t quite sure what was wrong. So, he put my on prednisone - a steroid - to reduce inflammation of the tissue.
Which leads me to the point of this post: the side effects are extreme mood swings, inability to sleep, and potential weight gain. WEIGHT GAIN. WTF?! Life is unfair.

I’d rather have you healthy, than sick and all skin and bones. Eat a TOFU Burger, you’re skinny enough.
