Default Newbie symptom question

Hi again,

I have so many questions, but i guess that's what this forum is all about!

I have no dx, but MS is slightly suspected.

I have 2 questions please!;

1) when you come off oral steroids, even when at the end, do your symptoms come back straight away?

I've been on a low dose, and I have 3 days left on quarter of a tablet.
The pins and needles are back today already and my pinky has gone numb like it usually does pre-steroids.

2) It seems like my ' sensory thermostat' is not working. My hands and feet felt like they were burning up earlier. My kids felt my hands and they were hot, but my feet were cold!
Sometimes when my feet are hot, I can feel the really cold tile floor with my 'good' foot, but my 'bad' foot can't feel the cold - it's just warm-ish.

I can also feel cool in bed (it's winter here!) but then my legs feel like they're burning and are hot to touch.

My symptoms always get worse with heat (bath, in bed, heater on too hot, and once even doing the dishes!!)

Des anyone else have these things going on, and are they MS-like symptoms?? (I know the heat-making-it-worse thing is).

thanks,
Michelle
