Default Palm pain/weakness

I'm steadily growing more concerned since I continue to get new sx despite being on a steroid pulse for the past three months, with three more to go. I started in May with the standard 3 day IV then one day a month for 6 months I get one IV treatment. I was finally feeling mostly improved, my memory is even better, and the 100 degree heat was barely causing a twitch.

My legs still bother me, and arms, and my right thumb tip went numb for about three weeks, but the feelings coming back now. This thing with my palms just about qualifies as its own flare. Tomorrow will be day three, and today is way worse than yesterday. It always hurts to hold the steering wheel, lift pans and dishes, but today I can barely hold the telephone receiver.

I see my neuro in two weeks. Do I wait it out and see what she says, or maybe try to move my appointment up? I'm already on steroids, so what can be done? I know the 'roids don't fix everything, but I'm certainly concerned about being able to function normally if I can't pick anything up without pain.
