    I am on 20mg Prednisone daily and now on 25mg Dithiazide daily, to be taken when needed, which, in my case, is every day.
    These tablets are supposed to have a lower level of sulpha, which I get a reaction to.
    I am to have a kidney function test in 3 weeks to determine whether these tablets interfere with the kidneys.
    Every day is better than yesterday

    Cheers

    Geez SAISAY, you have my sincerest sympathy. I felt like saying it could be Diabetes, I also have numb feet and pins and needles in them and my hands, supposedly it's the Diabetes which is causing it. I wonder if it's a circulation thing or a nerve damage thing. I'd opt for the nerve angle. You've fallen and damaged your spinal cord and basically any damage anywhere on the spinal cord can play havoc with feelings in your legs. It's not nice when something so major leaves your doctor guessing, I went down that road with what one doctor called Crohnes Disease another called Colitis and yet another agreed with me, it was Agent Orange poisoning. But I guess that's why they call it a medical practice and we're the bloody guinea pigs.

    Great news about the diuretics, who would have guessed that cure. You must feel a lot better after recovering feeling in both feet and hands. How easy it would have been for you not to have tied the two together. It certainly seems strange though, was the extra fluid putting pressure on your spinal cord somewhere? There's no doubt about it, the human body is a marvellous piece of work. When I think what I used to put mine through in my younger days, it's amazing that I'm still here today. Oh to be 21 and bullet proof once more.

    Good health to you mate, look after yourself, all the best Stu

    Prednizone causes cataracts so medicos prescribe as a last resort. I had both of my eyes done because of it but every cloud has a silver lining, I am most probably the only 69 year old in Oz that does not need to wear glasses ever again for reading or long sight.

    Makes 2 of us, had my cataracts done 5 and 2 years ago, one eye for reading, the other for distance, after 20 odd yrs with glasses, dont need them now.
    Got mine done only because of cataracts, no other reason.

    Mono vision is awesome if your brain can tolerate but not many can.

    So many things causes pins and needles. Nerve pain is the pits isn't it. Nerve pain has ended me today on full disability awaiting an electric wheelchair. So know very well on how drs can drive you up the wall. I have this specialist favourite saying iw just keep on trucking. Well it alright for the pain specialist to spurt that off as he goes home and lives a happy pain free life.
    I am so sorry to hear your in this same battle too. Sorry better reintroduce myself i used to be here donkey years ago by the name lubbing5cherubs. Hopefully by now you have an answer for your symptoms even if just for your own brain sake to know your not nuts. I know i found just to get a name not that they can do much to help but made it easier to explain for others. So that when tell people and hear oh yes i have that too. Some people although know trying to be supportive and helpful it far from it. Hang in there matey hope soon they find the right meds to get you back some form of life again
