    I have experienced tingling in my hands and feet, but it goes away after a while.

    Not too much of a problem. If the wrist swells and feels inflamed which has happened to me before,  I had to up the Prednisone to double for 3 days, and then I was fine. I was told  by my rheumy that it is a sign of RA.

    I'm on the same dosage.  Occasionally my feet feel like they are slightly asleep and they tingle.  I've heard from others that they get that feeling also.

    It is a listed side effect of pred and is something they suggest mentioning to your doctor.
