Welcome @hcroom, My PMR is currently in remission. I had neuropathy for almost 20 years before my PMR first showed up and was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy six years after my first round with PMR went into remission.
Sorry to hear the neuropathy stayed with you after getting off of the prednisone. You might find the following discussion helpful:

Have you looked into any treatments for your hands or feet? What symptoms do you have for the neuropathy?

Thank you for this response. Both feet are tingly and hurt terribly when I walk barefoot as I do at the indoor pool. The two fingers on my right hand are partially numb and also tingly, but they do not hurt. They just make dealing cards harder, for example. I tried gabapentin for the feet with no relief whatsoever. Thank you again. I'll check out the website you suggest.
