Hey guys,

Not sure if this is helpful, but I did a search to see if there are some old discussions on the topic:

> I’m about to tell to my neurologist to prescribe me prednisone for the numbness on my feet and hands!!! I’ve been having this since October 2014 …I’ve been on iv Methylprednisolone 1000 once a week for 6 six weeks. Finished two weeks ago and the numbness is coming on again! I’m using a walker for that reason…I don’t know what to do about it? I’ve done a week of IVIG and only worked for a couple of days and the symptoms came back.

I don’t think these directly answer your question, so hopefully someone can comment on their recent experience?
