Hi Un! I can't add much to what has been said already. Hucklebuck(closet world-traveler) spelled out all of the issues pretty clearly. I'm not a doctor, but it seems like your dose of Decadron/dexamethasone is a little high, I could be wrong. D can definitely cause you to fly high and retain, but it's better to have reserves for your body to draw on than have nothing there when you really need it. And, you should not feel any shame from your weight gain. You are fighting a terrible disease and I'm certain that you are doing the best that you can. It doesn't matter what you are eating or drinking. It's the meds. that you need to take to fight this fight. I'm sure that you are still beautiful. You're in my thoughts and prayers, Bill
