I can do pretty much anything I want, but cycling is hard because of the diplopia and lack of depth perception. More an annoyance than a worry so far. Worst part is a side effect of prednisone, an almost insatiable appetite. I can eat a normal, healthy breakfast at 7 a.m., and when I go by McDonald's at 7:45 I want to turn in and eat 11 Egg McMuffins...
The prednisone will do that to ya. But hey, at least it killed all your inflammation for a while
