Tingling and numbness in fingers and hands
Posted , 4 users are following.
Diagnosed with PMR & GCA in December, 2015, I am down to 40mg prednisone together with 20mg methotextrate. Have only been on the methotextrate for 3 weeks and down to 40mg of prednisone for 2 days from 42.5mg so far so good. Apart from the normal side effects of prednisone, I am experiencing numbness in the tips of my fingers which spreads down into my hands. Mostly on the left side which is where my GCA is worse. However, sometimes I have it on my right side as well. I have no strength in my hands and am dropping things. I have spoken to both my GP & Rheumy and they have not any answers. One would presume it is to do with blood/oxygen flow, does anyone else have this problem and if so any answers would be appreciated.
