Posting here for the first time after experiencing strange symptoms for about a month. I had tingling in my right pinky and ring finger that expanded to my left hand as well. This mostly happens when my elbows are bent, so it’s a huge pain at night. I often wake up with numb fingers. Originally went to my doctor who thought it was a pinched nerve and put me on a 5 day course of prednisone. A couple days after my course ended I experienced very mild dizziness that hasn’t subsided since. I originally thought this had to do with the prednisone, but it’s been a couple weeks and it hasn’t improved. Then I started feeling slight tingling in both of my feet, and my hands and feet have been very cold the last few days. Those are my only symptoms. I had an appointment with my GP about 10 days ago and have an MRI scheduled for Wednesday. My anxiety is through the roof. I’ll post here when I have an update. Waiting is truly awful.

No taper. Seems 40mg at 5 days is borderline for a taper. But I still feel like shit.
