Re: tongue tingling/buzzing-prednisone/embrel

[Guest guest]

I had a terrible time with twitching and buzzing sensations when weaning off

prednisone. I had been on it for a long time. I am back on it again and have had

two episodes, one of tingling on the side of my leg, the other of twitching of

my pinkie finger. I don't know why this happens. I also had my whole right side

progressively go numb over the course of the day when on Enbrel. I stopped it

immediately and have not had that again. I had an MRI and I have two lesions on

my brain which apparently can be " associated " with Enbrel. My rheumy will not

prescribe nor would I take a biologic again because of these lesions.  Sad thing

is, the Enbrel worked great for me. I had no other side effects, and it was like

I didn't have psoriasis or PsA at all. 

One other thing, I seem to be sensitive to caffeine. I would notice that if I

had a lot of coffee I would get more twitches. Hope this helps.  As someone else

asked, what meds are you on?
