Flaming/Flame Wars
Flaming is reacting to someone's board posting or PM in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users flame each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)

In the past 15 years I have been on hydro or oxy for 1,2,3 years and then off of it for a couple of years (or months). Average weight on:160-180. Average weight off: 130-140. No difference in eating habits, exercise habits, etc. Because of the nature of my condition I control both of these very carefully. I have taken predisone the entire time, and it does cause weight gain, but the dose was consistant the entire time. The only altering factor was if I was in need of strong painkillers on a daily basis.

So in my case anyway, the answer would be yes.
