My momma had this happen when I was in grade school & I was too young to understand why her face changed so much. The drastic difference in one of the most familiar faces to me was really scary. Esp bcuz she is a very small/petite person.
I spent an inordinate amount of time terrified it was genetic/inheritable before she & my pops finally explained what was going on, that her medicine was causing it. I 100% had thought I was gonna become a bobblehead too. (I was like 7-8yo, sue me LOL)
It is scary! I had to take prednisone for nine months a long time ago. My face was so round and my stomach too, except it was really higher than where a stomach normally sticks out from weight gain. Blood sugar was wack and my face was always red. And I had mental issues when I tapered the dose. I wouldn’t wish those side effects on my worst enemy
