I couldn't agree more.

Here's something else: a friend with neuropathy saw a doc here in LA who prescribed prednisone. He took a relatively short course of it and says his hands feel 95% better. I need to get more info from him, but in our initial talk his symptoms sounded a good deal like mine. Although one doc told him that his problem might have been caused by a flu shot, which he got (for some reason) while he was in the throes of pneumonia. Go figure.

Anybody have any thoughts on prednisone for treating PN?
