Default Tapering off prednisone 20 mg

Hello everyone!

I was diagnosed with MG in December 2017, went into full blown crisis on Jan 2018. That led to a hospital stay of two months (25 days in ICU). Since then, I have been on a regiment of Mestinon 60 mg, and Prednisone 20 mg.

I am concerned about the serious cramping I am feeling on my arms and legs. My neurologist has told me that cramps are due to intake of Prednisone.

Has anyone had any positive response to the use of Astragalus to gradually substitute Prednisone 20 mg?

Thank you!
