Could've sworn I was prescribed a prednisone taper pack when I went numb from my waist down, right before diagnosis in 1999/2000. Just looked it up and numbness was reported to occasionally be a side effect of the drug.

I remember feeling the numbness move slowly down; now I have no idea if I even took anything for it, after what Snoopy said. "There are no medications to help with numbness."
ktandkt1, I hope between 2 neuros you can get some relief!
