I was on 60mg of Prednisone and was going down hill fast. I was at the point I could barely walk. I went to see my neuro-muscular doctor who I see about every 6 months. He immediately said I had to get off Prednisone right away. It was killing the muscles in my legs. He dropped me 10mg that day. He said Prednisone will do one of 2 things. It will be a wonder drug for you or kill you. He said I was one of those people that can't take it. I am down to 20mg and my legs have recovered. We are now at the stage we can only reduce 2 1/2 mg at a time so it is going to take a while to get completely off. Of course I had the usual effects fat face, hump on back of neck, water retention, most of that is gone.
