Never been on oral steroids. Sorry I can't help you with that question.

I have the broken thermostat problem too. We have sweatshirts and blankets stationed for when I get chilly. Been debating for a long time whether or not to get slippers for when only my feet are cold. I have a tendancy to overheat when I do stuff like dishes. I'll sit under a fan for awhile to cool off, and then I get cold.

Sounds like your "bad" foot is experiencing a decrease in sensation. That is the numbness I have. Sometimes I can't feel the difference between hot and cold. We have a mark in my shower of how far to turn the knob so I don't get the water too hot since I also experience this in my hands.

Definitely talk to your doc about this. Hang in there.
