I'm really worried about my husband's situation. He's dealing with uveitis, and every time he stops using his corticosteroids, the inflammation flares up again, so he has to go back on the meds. Right now, he's on dexamethasone, and he also has this HLA-B27 issue. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening?

I'm really worried about this weakness and leg pain I've been experiencing. I've been taking Medrol for my swollen lymph nodes in the chest, with doses starting at 12mg, then 8mg, and now 4mg for about a week each. But just a couple of days before I was supposed to finish the 4mg dose, I suddenly started feeling extremely weak and my legs are in so much pain. It's been like this since. Any idea what might be going on?
