Guest guest Posted May 24, 1999 Report Share Posted May 24, 1999 Hi all. I need help deciphering what's going on here, and maybe you guys have some clues? I'm on Prednisone, and cutting back slowly. The past three times I've cut back (From 35-30, 30-25, and now 25-20) I've had no reaction at all for the first two weeks (Minocin's working??) But then the third week hits, and I'm tired and sore and in poor shape, and now I'm in the fourth week and I'm getting pretty weak. I have Dermatomyositis, which is basically a muscle decay, but I'm wondering why I feel so fine the first two weeks and it only affects me the third and fourth? The last two times I recovered on the fourth or fifth week, and felt fine, so that's why I cut back again. However, this time I'm feeling weaker than ever before. Any ideas? Thanks you guys, you're about the only true place to get answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
