    Hi Karen

    yes, I have tingling/pins and needles in my legs and feet.   I have been told it could be a side effect from the Pred or one of the other meds I am taking.

    how long have you been on Pred ?

    Me too. Rheumy has no idea why and nothing has shown up in the various tests I've had, so maybe it's another pred side effect.

    I have just read that numbness or tingling in arms or legs is one of the side effects of pred which warrants reporting to the doctor.  Too bad they don't seem to know what to do about it.  Or maybe that's good. They'd likely want to prescribe another scary drug!

      You know, I think it's worth a mention, although probably not a special visit unless it were to get much worse.  Of course it might resolve and go away by your next appointment.  But maybe worth saying you'd had some episodes anyway, just for the record.  I'm going to mention my "funny spells" next time I see my doctor, but unless things get really awful I won't make an extra appointment.
