HI
well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you were taking steroid "Prednisone" then this need to be taken on tapper manner means dose need to be reduce gradually, although weakness does not seems because of steroid but this could be due to general debility, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
