Same with me Sher, this was one of my first symptoms and it hasn't gone. I usually wake up on a morning with a dead arm, even when I have not slept on that arm. It is a horrible feeling a painful as the sensation is coming back!! xx

I get it intermittently too, & I'm on low dose of prednisolone, 7.5 - 10mg at the moment. So for me, I don't think it's related to the medication either.

Yes, I have these, not nice at all but tests show nothing wrong, so I just get on with it. Like Meg, I too wake up with numb fingers in my hands, I hate it.

Sorry, I meant to say that I'm not on steroids at the moment, actually steroids improved the symptoms when I was taking them.

Thanks all for your answers I should have said that like you I did suffer with PNs before but not as often as I am getting them now They seem to be there most of the time I'm sure there is nothing wrong just wondered if they got worse the more I reduce the steroids ? X
