    I do and I am trying to decide if it is because I am reducing pred too quickly. During the last three months I have reduced from 4 to 3 mgs. Hopefully Elaine will read your question soon and have a suggestion. You might want to give more information such as what dose you are on and for how long, any other info that might be relevant.

    Usually only if you aren;t on the correct dose of steroids, If you are on the correct dose you shouldn't have many symptoms at all. Some people still find walking difficult - that does vary.
