May I call you Edwin? Is that your name?

Call your doctor. Tell him your concerns.

Are you doing badly right now?

4-eyes is right about Pred temporarily making you worse before you get better. And it could take awhile to make the larger muscles groups better.

Also, it is very easy to get "hooked" on Pred and it comes with a load of side effects. Many MG experts don't even go to Pred unless a patient is near a crisis. Even then, the hospital might be the place to start it via Solu-Medrol and then tablets if you are doing that badly.

Have you ever taken steroids before? Do you know how they might affect you?

You are in charge of your health. Yes, you need your MG as controlled as possible but you are an equal partner in making those disease management decisions.

I hope you have already called your doctor. Please don't rely on the Internet for that kind of critical advice!
