Peripheral Neuropathy and PMR?

I have had neuropathy for 5 years. Acupuncture has helped with the symptoms. Now I have been diagnosed with PMR. I started on Prednisone and it helps with the joint pain. However, my neuropathy has flared up and it is painful. Looking for anyone who has this issue.

Hello @leon1649, Welcome to Connect. I also have PMR and neuropathy but my PMR is currently in remission. You will notice that we moved your post to the following existing discussion on the same topic so that you connect with @bb1, @raven1955 and @pkalkstein who also have PMR along with neuropathy.

Prednisone pretty much took care of all of my PMR joint pain but didn't help with my neuropathy symptoms which for me is numbness only and no pain. I do take supplements for the neuropathy which help some. I posted my neuropathy story in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

Have you tried treatments other than Acupuncture for your neuropathy?
