It did give me insomnia and big black and blue marks without having injured my limb. I am currently being weaned off pregnisone. The insomnia went away at about 25mg dose, but the muscle pains and badder days are working their way back in.

Ok, my mother who is a nurse wasn't happy when I told her I started steroids because she is worried about the long term effects, but I also explained that the doctor wants to try this to treat the vision issues. I think the motherly instinct took over her medical experience for a quick second . She is just being a good mom and she doesn't know much because she lives 1300 miles away from me.
