(((hugs))) I'm so sorry you are feeling rotten. Even though I am in limbo-land with being dx'd with 'whatever' is going on with my body- I do know somethings about steriods.
Steriods is a good medicine and used for various illness'. It is something that they think can help; do it. For some people like me, steriods are a safe-haven with asthma. But for mental health- Yikes!!
If you start to have mood swings, agitation and feel really on edge make sure you call your doctor. Going off of steriods can wreak havoc on ones body/mind. Been there, done that- it really stinks.
Bed rest- definitely. Please take care of yourself. Your symptoms are very similar to the ones I've had every since the first of July. Yucky.
The vision thing is very scary. The vision problems (blurriness/double vision)- occurs during the day when I over do it. Does this happen to you with your vision?
Please take care...
