A couple of months ago I began to loose breath and muscle weakness in my legs just from going up and down stairs. About a month ago wound up in the hospital for 4 days because the more energy I use the more fatigued I become. Had all sorts of CT, MRI, xrays, and about 30 pages of blood labs done on me. We have ruled out Mysthenia Gravis and Polymyositis. The only pain I experience is in my hips and knees, other than that, there really is no pain associated with my symptoms. It seems I urinate a lot and my kidneys hurt in my back. I have stepped down on predinsone from 40mg to 20mg and then 10mg. Now only taking Lexapro to relax my muscles and Loritab as needed for pain. I have had low grade fevers, between 3 - 5 a day and occasionally my arm and leg muscles tense up so badly it looks like I'm have a seizure. I have gone from walking on my own to a cane and then a walker. Any ideas, thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
 
Perhaps you should give these consideration--Myotonic Dystrophy, Acute Leukemia, Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, ALS Sincerely, searchin
I suppose they checked you for Hepatitis as well altho' I doubt this is the problem. I hope you get an answer soon.
