When you withdraw from Pred, you can have symptoms of an adrenal crisis. How quickly are you withdrawing from it? Are you doing it on your own or is it something your neurologist said to do? It can be a very tricky thing to do! If you do go off too quickly, you can have an adrenal crisis. You can get dizzy, mild to profuse sweats, increased weakness and other symptoms.

So it might be the withdrawal making you weaker, not necessarily the MG.

I hope you will speak to your neurologist as soon as possible about this! Some doctors don't realize that there are patients who are more sensitive to steroid withdrawal than others. I know someone who nearly did go into an adrenal crisis when a doctor dropped their dose too quickly and by too much. It's quite dangerous.

And Abby has a good point. You need to talk to your doctor about everything you are on, including supplements! You can't know what "mechanisms" are at play until you and your doctor look at all of the "players" like drugs, supplements and possibly other disease states.

Please see a doctor as soon as possible.
