I also have glaucoma or high eye pressure, that is one of the reasons I want to get off prednisone.. My balance was very shaky, some better now. I am not sure whether it was the disease or the prednisone. The less medicine I had to take the better I felt. The same with that foggy feeling. I have not had weight gain, but not lost the 10lb that I know would help me feel better. I do concentrate on healthy diet, lots of organic vegetables and fruit, preferably heirloom. I eat very little meat, can go weeks without it. I do eat seafood. Also put anti-inflammatory spices and herbs in my food. The worst thing for inflammation is sugar. I found that out when I had my birthday in January and ate pieces of very, sweet, rich cake. .I get fatigued each day (don't know whether that is because of illness or medicine) Sometimes I lie down for a couple of hours in the afternoon, others I just push through it. I am down to 3.5mg taking 2 in morning and the rest in evening. This low dosage, I do find some beginning cramps in a leg during night, but if I get up, take a some water, go back to bed it is gone. In the mornings I have some stiffness, but it gradually disappears. My past staggering around I really believe was due to Prednisone. It is such a nasty medicine, but a necessary one. I hope you get to feeling better and do try to have positive attitude. I set small goals for myself and celebrate, usually a glass of good wine, when I have achieved each one. A very hot shower in the morning with the spray concentrated on my lower back (osteoporosis) helps me. After working at it each morning, I can now touch my toes while in shower. This is such a long reply, hope something in it might be of help. Maggie 🙂
