Have you been taking steroids? I was on for 4 years and suddenly developed steroid myopathy, which meant I could barely walk, get out of a chair, etc. Getting better now that off steroids, but neurologist said would take months to get back to normal. Feel for you.

I was diagnosed with PMR 6+ years ago. Have been on prednisone all that time without a break. Late last year I started feeling weakness in upper legs as if I were going to fall walking. Could not get around without shopping cart at stores or cane where there was no support for me. I was recently told that I have steroid myopathy and I am now at a point where I have trouble walking around the house. I'm starting physical therapy tomorrow and want to get off these steroids for good. Apparently this myopathy was caused by the steroids prescribed for the PMR. Anyone else with the same descriptions? I have also lost the strength I always had in my upper arms.
