PMR

Can anyone help? I have been on prednisone now for 11 months now. Started at 15 mg now on 6mg. For the last couple of weeks I have felt a tingling in both feet mainly on the outside of the feet. Tonight I noticed some tingling in my lower legs. It comes and goes. I do not have high BP or high sugars. Wondering if it could be from the Pred or from the PRM. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for any help I can get.

Pred CAN cause peripheral neuropathy but I'd have expected you would have noticed it more at higher doses though of course it is also a matter of time. Mention it to your doctors - although if it is the pred, it is a rock and a hard place problem really.

Have you tried Magnesium supplements

Sorted mine out

But do seek medical advice

Could be a sign of nerve damage and deficiencies of the eight B-complex vitamins, which support nerve health and nerve signal transmissions. Also older age and taking meds that affect digestion can make it necessary to get B12 injections.
