Pingpongman, I am scared to death of the prednisone. My husband had to take steroids to stay alive as he had no adrenal glands. He had all the symptoms you describe and diabetes to boot. I do not want all of those symptoms, but I think I will try it for a short time just to see if it will help.

I reached a point that I could only lift my left foot 3 inches.
