So, I've been weaning off Prednisone. My last dose was last night. While I was weaning off (I can't remember what amount I had gotten down to), I began to develop a bit of a rash on the back of my neck. I also started getting itchy eyes, and styes on my eyes pretty frequently. I showed the rash to my GI doctor, but he said he didn't see much, and that it could be related to the pred, but he didn't elaborate. Is this a side effect of withdrawal from coming off of it? Or could it be from my Imuran? I didn't think it would be the imuran since I've been on it since May without any problems.
Oh, and my legs have been hurting since hitting the really low dose of pred. Is this also related to withdrawal? And how can I help with the pain? I take Ultram, but it doesn't seem to help much, nor does over the counter tylenol.
Thanks!
