    I have had a hyersensitivity to a section of my scalp once or twice which I have I have assumed was a manifestation of PMR. It is a sensation I have also had with viral infections. When you brush your hair the scalp is tingly. I have not had headaches or vision issues such as people describe in this forum associated with GCA.

    I have never actually had pins and needles on my head since taking pred, but I reckon I have had fourteen side effects from it. I believe there are over eighty side effects, but hopefully nobody has ever been unlucky enough to have all of them or even half of them.  I must admit I do blame good old pred for virtually anything. Even if it is raining it must be the pred!
