My dad has always been active his whole life until about 5 years ago he was walking to pick up his grand kids from school he told us that on the way back with the kids he had to take a break and sit down for about 15 minutes,he felt like he was very tired from there on its been a stroggle for my dad. Over this past five years his gotten alot worse he can not walk on his own or stand up on his own he needs help using the bathroom, he spent about 1 year sleeping on a couch he could not lay flat on his bed he felt like he could not breath. He has been taken prednisone, this medecine is not helping him any the only thing this medecine does for him is makes him hungry.My dad bought him self a scutter now and thats the only way for him to get around, I wish doctors will find a cure for this problem.
