I also tampered down 5mg a week to currently at 40mg a week. Other than the vision part I have pretty much the same symptoms, I’d be happy to just start driving again, haven’t driven since middle of June. Arms and legs feel heavy and not 100% responsive.

Jamie,
Thanks for your response about your prednisone taper. Mine is 10 per Month (started at 60 in May) not weekly, definitely slower.
I can definitely relate to the not driving and the heaviness, especially in my arms, with varied severity depending on the day. I also trip when nothing to trip on…..like my foot/leg does not lift high enough before it lands again, causing me to stumble forward. Again, this varies day to day, some days no trips, other days multiple. Weird.
Are your vision difficulties sporadic or constant? Mine were sporadic. I was unable to drive from May 2nd to July 8th. Felt like forever. It is best to be safe, but it felt like forever! Hang in there. Hopefully that symptoms will fade with continued treatment.
Take care. Kristy
