Prednisone (steroid) for arthritis

I have been trying to lose weight for a few months now, but everytime I start to lose a little weight, my arthritis acts up. When I call my doctor because the pain is overwhelming, the only thing they do is call in prednisone. It does help with the swelling and pain in my joints BUT what little weight loss I have had goes out the window because the prednisone turns me into a starving rabid animal. Do you guys know of any way to combat the hunger side-effect so that my hard work to lose weight isn't for nothing?
