Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Your question has been lying around quite a while but like your friend's treating physician, our doctors too do not have a easy diagnosis or solution. I would put down whatever I can make out from the description that you have provided.
The problem seems to be neuromuscular, possibly with an autoimmune component. This is the reason that prednisolone has been prescribed. This possibly has been precipitated by a viral infection. However, an antibiotic has been given just to be safe. Moreover, a bacterial infection could be the cause of the boils that have appeared all over the body. In such a situation a thorough correlation would be needed. I would insist you to procure the reports and medical notes and to upload them. Based on that I would be able to guide you further.
I would await your response. Let me know if I could help further.
Regards


Hope for the best
