I am looking for some answers.
I am a 25 year old man. I have very mild CAH (congenital adrenal hyperplasia), and I take 2.5 mg of prednisone daily. Last year, I was on an Isoniazid treatment of 9 months due to a positive skin ppd (tuberculosis).

For years I have been experiencing dizziness and faintness and drops in blood pressure, but recently, along with my usual dizziness and weakness I have been experiencing a heavyness in my arms and legs, a weakness I can't seem to explain. It is almost as if when I lay down or sit down, my legs feeled nailed to the bed or the floor. Its like I have to think about moving them, since they feel so heavy. I've recently also been having back pain. It started with my lower back and I though I was sleeping wrong, etc., but after almost a month, this pain has spread throughout my back. It almost feels like flu pain, when your muscles ache. I am starting to get a bit concerned because these episodes are becoming more frequent, usually they would be months apart, but last Tuesday I got this way and yesterday (almost a week later) I got it again. This last one has even lasted longer...I still feel a bit weak in my arms and legs.

My paternal grandfather had Multiple Sclerosis and I wondering it I could be developing this.

Please let me know if there are any suggestions as to what I should do.

thank you.

Have you tried Acupressure. It is very helpful in curing the back pain without use of any medicine and recovery is very fast. If you like you can call me to know about the details. My nos are 5841088. Please call after 6 PM only.

Oral corticosteroid therapy corrects the endocrine deficiency and must continue throughout life.& Call for an appointment with your health care provider
