@kgc:

Have you also taken Accutane?

If your major complaint is muscle weakness? Then you should
also consider myasthenia gravis. This is an autoimmune disease where
antibodies attack the neuromuscular junction.

Often it is difficult to get a diagnosis of this.
Here is our MG forum, where you can ask about it:

High dose steroids are often used to treat this disorder.
You might want to read there and ask some questions.
