I have been off prednisone now for 2 months and just recently developed neuropathy which I have read can be caused by an autoimmune disease.

If you click the link above it will take you to the beginning of the discussion so that you can learn what other members have shared about PMR and neuropathy. I have had small fiber peripheral neuropathy for over 20 years and have had two occurrences of PMR. What kind of tests did you have when they diagnosed your neuropathy?

I experienced new onset right bundle branch cardiac conduction block after PMR. As my autoimmunity evolved
into psoriatic arthritis I developed vagal autonomic symptoms affecting heart rate variability.
Neuropathy is found with autoimmune diseases.
