Peripheral Neuropathy - Result of PMR or Prednisone?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Sep 2, 2023 | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
Hi jcaffrey. This sounds like valuable information and suggestion. I’m suffering right now from burning feet and tingling pins and needles. Its Driving me crazy. I had a couple of questions: 1) was your b12 low before injecting yourself? 2) and how many mgs of b12 did you inject? 3) how long were you injecting yourself the b12 (duration) 4) how many times a month were you injecting yourself?
Thank you

To answer your questions. 1) I first discovered that my B12 was low after starting the Prednisone. 2) I injected 1 ml. 3) for a full 2 years. 4) every 10 days. I also took B12 tablets orally in the am and pm but the absorption rate is so poor that the injections were the way to go. The tingling in my feet ended almost immediately after starting the injections.
