Well, since this discussion is about neuropathy, I'll just say that I wish there were an injection for pn. My wife and I have both had cortisone shots for multiple pains. But I do take a low dose of Prednisone, 10mg, prescribed by my neurologist in hopes that it will slow the progression of sfpn in my feet and ankles, numbness in fingers. I don't think it will have any effect on my AN. When I had my flu shot last week, the pharmacist warned me about risk of infection when taking prednisone. I guess sometimes we have to weigh the risks against the benefits of medications.

@jimhd Jim, Absolutely, I feel prednisone is commonly used. People have to look at the benefits vs the risks to determine if it is form them. Prednisone decreases your immune system so it can slow down the progression of an illness and also slow down the healing process. Toni
