Hello all,
So recently ive noticed that my arms and legs will randomly feel kinda numb, does anyone know if this is a side effect of 6-mp?
thanks!

I have numbness in hands and feet, especially at night. I think its related to the prednisone. I don't think its related to the 6mp because for me the extremity numbness started while I was tapering down on the prednisone, but before I started taking 6mp.

Winni,
I'm curious, do you have below normal body temperature? I do, and I think my low body temp started around the same time as the numbness.
peace,

I got the numb thing quite a bit when I was tapering off of prednisone.

My legs fall asleep constantly when I'm sitting down, especially if I'm on the toilet but a lot of times when I'm not.

piper chris,
I do have below normal body temp, im usually at about 97.1. and i have really low blood pressure too. I guess now that you mention it that combined with the pred im on and tapering probably explains the numbness.
thanks!
