The waterpills were a blessing for me.  How I got on them is because of my brother.  He is a body builder and he reads up on all these steroids and he told me that the dexamethasone that I was on at that time would make me hold water.  So I told me Endo because I was starting to get some major stretch marks therefore I wanted to take some water pills.  The water pills reduced my "puffiness" all over but I first saw it in my face, thighs, and waist line.  Also, after I stressed my concerns about my stretch marks due to the water, my Endo switched me to Predisone.  I seem to maintaining my weight.  Next week I go get my blood drawn again to see if the Predisone is maintaining my correct hormone levels.

Hope this helps.
