Suggest Treatment For Stiffness In Joints And Blurred Vision While On Medications For Asthma

2 1/2 years ago, I was hospitalized for a severe asthma attack..I was receiving 40mg intravenous prednisone every 6 hours... They released me 2 days later with a 4 mg dose pack and 23 hours later, I was rushed back to the ER in critical condition.... They ended up giving me 60mg of pred every 6 hours for the next 5 days... Since that visit to the hospital, I have basically been on steroids about every 6 wks for 14 days at a time... After this past spring when I was admitted into the hospital again, I saw a pulmonologist a week after being released... I was still taking 60mgs of prednisone a day orally and so he had me taper down the dose by 5mg every 3days until I was done with it...He also put me on Breo 200mcg/25mcg; Incruse 62.5mcg; and 400mg of theophylline a day.... This combination worked wonders for my asthma..... For the first time in 30 years, I could go an entire day without having to use my rescue inhaler... For that matter, I went 3 whole months with only having to use it twice..... It seemed that I had finally gotten everything under control... But I noticed a couple of days after I started this new regiment that I was having stiffness in my hips after sitting for long periods of time and from there it moved to my hands, and then my feet, knees, and neck.... I first thought it was bone pain so I made sure not to miss taking my calcium supplement but then I noticed that my finger joints were swollen and it only hurt in my hands where the swelling was..... I was also experiencing blurred vision and chest pain that I contributed to all the prednisone but when I consulted my doctor, he recommended that I stop taking the incruse and breo immediately.... and so I figured those meds were causing the joint pain as well but I have been off of them for a month now and the pain just seems to be escalating... I work in catering so I am constantly on my feet and picking up heavy things ....I don t have another appointment to see my Dr. for another month so I was wondering if you could help shed some light on what could possibly be wrong with me.... If nothing else so that I can suggest it to my dr. to help speed up a diagnosis.... Thanks Carrie Westfall
