  • Snapshot
    • A 37-year-old woman with uveitis on prednisone (20 mg daily) presents to her primary care provider due to weight gain. Since establishing her treatment for uveitis, she reports significant improvement in her vision with the resolution of the flare. However, over the couple of months, she has also noticed menstrual irregularities, abnormal hair growth on her face, and skin changes. She reports eating a well-balanced diet and although she has been trying to engage in an exercise program, she has been feeling very weak and unable to do so.
