I have started (going on 3 weeks now) to have cramps, mostly in my hands but it happens in my feet as well. They feel like horrible charlie horses. When this happens my hands/feet stiffen, hurt like crazy and sometimes I can't move them for a few minutes. My hands occasionally want to ball up like a fist and stay stuck there. My thumb and fingers are achy all the time and only get worse as I try to do anything.

I am working with my Neurologist to slowly taper off Prednisone. I am currently at 25mg daily until 2/15 then I will be on 25mg odd days 20 even days for two weeks then 20mg for two weeks and so on. Prednisone has helped me a lot but also caused WAY to many dangerous side effects for it to be worth taking anymore. As I get lower on the dose these cramps seem to happen more frequently.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? I am not sure if it is MG related, prednisone related, a vitamin issue ...or just some other additional issue I really do not want added to my already overwhelming pile of health issues.

I would like to exhaust any options I can try at home to possibly deal with this before setting yet another doctors appointment. I have GREAT doctors, whom I adore, but I see them WAY more often than I would like.
