Does Dexamethasone Cause Loss Of Strength In Arms And Legs?

I am presently taking Dexamethasone, 4mg twice daily, reduced from 8 mg twice daily which I have had for over a month. I am very weak, and have poor balance, but every now and then I lose the power of my legs and arms as well. Is this possible a side effect of the dexamethasone?
