Prednisone weakened my bones, made me lightheaded and dizzy and gain tons of weight in the 5 mos I took it for PMR. Went off three wks ago.

I am trying things to help with pain. Right now CBD oil and cherry pills for muscle pain.

Some days it works - some not. Today hurting all over.

Did laundry yesterday, always pain the next day when more active than the day before.

Frustrating as heck, I am a walker, hiker and bicycle rider… had to give up all but walking.

I am 74 -75 in August. I used to be so active. So bummed.

Thx for commenting. I am already osteoporotic, diagnosed in '17, not medicated.
I could take the side effects you experienced if the didn't get to an outrageous point, but anxiety, insomnia and heart events...nope, why would I do that do myself or my husband. He's lived through the nightmare of my anxiety issues. Certainly not as bad for him but my being in panic mode 24/7 as others are with pred, well, as I said there are things worse than death.
I am the same after I try to do anything, hurting the next day.
Also worked out avidly for 40 years, now this.
I understand your frustration...
We are the same age tho I am 75 this month.
