I've recently gotten off Prednisone after being on it for two years. I've been told the severe leg pain is due to withdrawl. I unfortunately can't tell you how long it will last....
www.lowdosenaltrexone.org I've been taking 4.5mg of LDN for the past five months for mixed connective tissue disorder, which includes lupus, RA & scleroderma. It has helped me tremendously! For a list of doctors in your area who could prescribe it for you, see aso ldners.info. Please consider going on the SCD diet (specific carbohydrate diet) for Crohns, cut out sugar as much as possible, NO ALCOHOL, juice your veggies if you're not a big veggie eater and google "functional medicine" and find the organization that has a database of doctors who practice this type of alternative therapy and make an appt w/ one in your area as well. The saying is absolutely true: YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT...and eating the right things and eliminating everything else, along w/supplements & probiotics will turn your health around for the better! My story is here as well under ajd102 and forgive me if I don't remember when I posted but it was sometime in August. Stay away from pred and the withdrawal symptoms will go away once you change your diet. All the best to you :-).
