PredniSONE and muscular pain

Prednisone has been a life-saver for many years. I have SLE and along with all the heavy-hitting immune suppressant meds, I take tapered doses of prednisone 4-5 times per year when joint and muscular pain are so severe I'm bedridden. When I'm on prednisone I feel like I'm on vacation!!! The pain in my body is totally eliminated except for one area: I get horrible sinus headaches. It feels like my sinus cavities are on fire and there's pressure within my eyes and blurred vision. Once I finish my tapered dose the pain trades off - painful body and normal sinuses.

Has anyone every heard of this?

Prescribed Prednisol & Predsol June 2007 for acute ulcerative colitis. Three months, oral and rectal, got it under control.September 07 got large fluid appearances both knees which took two weeks to subside completely.
Soon after & whilst playing golf got stabbing pain left Achilles. Repaired by op. Thereafter commenced getting aches in muscles and joints and generally across entire body structure. Extreme pain in rt hip, imaged and shown as necrosis of femur joint. April 08 rt hip joint replaced. Continual muscular pain overnight which abates with movement during day causes sleep deprivation and consequential lethargy.
Most interested in proven supplements and/or prescription antidote!

Hello everyone!
I have been on Prednisone for about 2 years ( ave. 10 mg a day) I went through my pregnancy with it as well. After the baby, I decided to ween myself off of prednisone. ( I have EG, which is an inflammatory bowel disease) Since then, I developed Shingles, muscular pain, joint pain all over and I seem to get throat infections all the time. I had 3 in the last 5 months. Has anybody had this problem? I had a relapse of abdominal pain couple days ago and I am back on pred. 5 mg. a day.
