Generally yes. But my hips were so bad just 2 weeks ago I couldn't move them. Leg weakness I'd have to say yes. Blood pressure I'm concerned about from the Prednisone. Went to a machine today as no doctor available to check it, and it was elevated to 152/86, but as I sat there and tested it 4 times, it dropped to 136/78 (which isn't bad). Hot flashes and sweats (that's why I checked my BP). I'm hoping for the rheumatology referral soon as the neurologist was arranging that. I am not retaining fluids as nothing is swelling and good urination. Hunger is over the top (trying to eat healthy snacks and no salt). Always drink a lot of water and rarely use salt anyway. I sometimes get this feeling of being "high" and a little wonky. Overall I'm thrilled with the results so far. Sleeping well every night. I wish for your sake you would get your referral soon, weakness when you're not used to it is very concerning and stressful.
