Unfortunately weight gain is a common side effect of cortisone therapy. could her weight gain and low >energy levels be the result of this thyriod condition? Weight gain is most likely due to cortisone. With low energy levels, that could be due to the hypothyroidism or be due to undertreatment with the cortisone. Is she followed regularly by an endocrinologist? Is it possible that Meds. for the Hypothyriod condition could >improve her energy leveland help her with the weight gain problem I'm more hopeful that it would help with the energy level than with the weight problem, but maybe with increased energy she would feel up to exercising, which has significant health benefits even without weight loss. She is lucky to have a caring, supportive husband to be with her. I hope she feels better soon. -- Laurie Lovely, MD RE fellow, UNC-Chapel Hill Next message: Kelly Shanahan, MD: "Re: thyroid and birth control" Previous message: Kelly Shanahan, MD: "Re: False positive?"
