I’m sorry to hear that. I tapered off prednisone about 31/2 months ago. Then a month ago I developed neuropathy. I’m 76 and don’t know what to do about the pain in my feet. I can’t sleep and I’m fairly miserable.

Have you tried wearing infrared socks? When the body loses heat the ceramics in the infrared socks return it to the feet in the form of infrared waves. Helps to boost circulation and get more oxygen into the area. If you give them a go please get a quality pair.
I used infrared clothing to sleep in when I was first diagnosed with polymyalgia and found it helpful.
Some people also wear pressure stockings, but I would try the infrared stockings first.
