I am fasting to put my lupus into remission. i actually gained alot of weight when i was put on prednison which is a steroid . I got alot of cellulite ..its all gone, my muscle mass has increased since i still lift like 3 days a week ...i think docotors are full of shid...personally but hey thats just me.. there are some docotors who are open minded but good luck finding them. i personally think why be put on medicine that has more side effects the symptoms that you have and half the medicines make you feel fake unlike your self..
