ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF BODY WENT NUMB!! I went on a low dosage of Prednisone about 3 weeks ago for sinusitis/nasal polyps. I was only taking 10mg per day. My heart was beating really fast one night last week and then the left side of my body went numb. I went to the ER and they checked my heart (it was fine). The numbing eventually subsided after a few hours. It totally felt like a STROKE! I then had to get an MRI on my brain. I took the results to a neurologist and the brain was fine, too. He says it probably is from the Prednisone. He is contributing the rapid heart beat and body numbing to this medication. He thinks it is causing intense adrenaline rushes. It has been a week and I am down to only 5mg every other day now. I still get the numbing effect now and then (especially when I lay in bed at night.) I haven't had any weight gain. But I am always hungry and have to urinate a lot! I want off this medication so bad! It is scary. I thought I was having a stroke! I only have a week left.
