I have lost some of the extended stomach. I am confused. Please help I cannot pay any money but need advice.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
You should have explained your symptoms in detail. so that i would have given better advice. your weight gain could be due to prednisone , which is a one or the side effect of that drug. Better to take medications through inhaler for your lung problem, as it reduces systemic side effects. Consult a pulmonologist for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
