Any advice about body pain and weight loss after tapering Prednisone?!


Question: Was on Prednisone 2 1/2 years, off now almost six months. The moon face is gone, but my leg muscles still hurt, and dieting has resulted in no weight loss. How long does it take?
Answers:
Hello,
Have also COPD, diagnosed in 99, was able to finally shed 30 lbs last year. For muscle pain (muscle spasms) I take Magnesium and Potassium. Keeping active (have to push myself) also helps me alot. If you have access to a Pulmonary Rehab Program, try it, had a total positive affect on me. Please contact me if you wish to exchange more info. Also would appreciate learning anything you have done with positive effects.thank you and

Take care and better breathing to you.
