i will be starting prednisone today. It is a taper back pack to see if I can get some symptoms under control. I asked for it and my pcp said " sure! You've been so sick for a year I think it's worth a try!" I don't see my THIRD neuro doc till the 14th. My first 2 told me I had anxiety! Finally I got one to do punch biopsy and results were positive for SFN. They offered me nothing for it. My left arm is weak and shakes. My left leg won't go when I walk so my gait is slow and unsteady. It shakes too. I have a feeling inside me like someone is shaking my insides and terrible pressure in my upper abs at times. My feet are quite numb most of the time yet very cold. It's been extremely debilitating. It started after a car accident a little over a year ago. I lost 50 pounds.....I'm freezing all the time. I have IC (interstitial cystitis) which contributed to the weight loss. I cannot eat processed foods or preservatives. I'm a total insomniac. Haven't been able to fall asleep in a year. My life has come to a complet halt. I have no strength left. Sooooo, wish me luck. I think I've got nothing to lose. Thanks for listening
