Mike, 12.5 mg is still a lot of pred. You really shouldn't be running out of steam like that. Are you overdoing it during the day?

Norcalian, pred is a catabolic steroid-- it causes muscle wasting and fat retention. (Anabolic steroids do the opposite). Those exercise suggestions are very good. Take care not to overexert or over strain--pred makes it easy to rupture tendons and ligaments. I would rather see you walking on an incline during only part of a treadmill routine. Otherwise you're overstressing the Achilles tendon-- an easy target for rupture.

That is great advice! thank you Sangye. I will do.
