Does anyone ever experience tingling? I have been having it on my right side, which is the side that normally feels swelled or tight. I have just weaned off of endocort and it has been a few weeks. Thanks in advance.

HM, I don't know what woud cause the tingling in your body, definitely talk to your doc.

mtgman....tingling in your hands can be a sign of low B12, get your levels checked...the longer you go on with low B12 the more areas it can affect (it generally stars with tingling in your fingers).

yeah- that's what i though too- but every time they check the levels are fine...maybe fine isn't quite where it needs to be though...

I have recently noticed tingling in my fingers/hands/arms. It feels like if they have fallen asleep on me. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night feeling this way and other times it just happens during the day.

I get it occasionally, usually on my face or neck. It's almost always in a situation with a lot of stress. I haven't cared enough to look into it much.

sounds very similar to what i have experienced. i'll usually take a xanax and try to relax and it usually passes fairly quickly...very strange though

IF the B12 is 400 and above then it is not "fine," but at least it's good enough. Optimal is 500 to 600, so oral supplementation might take care of that.

BUT if the B12 is under 400, especially if it is under 300, then it's not fine.

One of your electrolities may be low (calcium, magnesium, potassium). Tingling or cramps is one of the symptoms. I am on supplments for all 3.
