With many people at this point, I might say that it could be good to take a time out from the search for 6 months or so and then come at it again. That is not a good tactic here because of you reduced mobility and pain.

I would correct those things that can be corrected- the Vit. D, for instance, the low potassium (Low potassium and elevated sugar can be SE's of prednisone).

You know that you are not useless- you are not well at the moment.
