Does Steroidal Myopathy Cause Impaired Mobility And Thought Processes?

My husband had a brain tumor . He was given steroids. He also has COPD and takes Advair ,Spriva and Albuterol. He developed steroidal myopathy. He recovered somewhat over time. He received a shot of solu-medrol. He crashed and was taken to ER. They said it was just Vasilvega and released him. Now his mobility and thought processes are impacted again. Could he have the myopathy again?

Unfortunately as you described the symptoms the origin seems to be brain itself
In my opinion it would be better to schedule a brain CT scan
Hope my answer will lead you to the diagnose
Best regards
