hi, i am 30 yrs old, female. The symptoms you are describing sound like r.a., you need a serious seconed opinion if you still have not gotten a proper diagnosis. I started having these same type of symptoms at 17, wasn't aggressive with it, now I am perm. disabled from the r.a., I have taken prednisone for 11 yrs or so now and i cannot get off it. I have severe osteoporosis and need insulin from steriod induced diabetes.. nip this junk in the bud and get further opinions on your conditions. You need to be more aggressive with your doctors and your health. PREDNISONE IS ADDICTIVE !God Bless!!!!!!
