Rash from PMR or prednisone?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I have posted on this forum before; 6 mos. Since diagnosed with PMR.
started on 15 mg pred...then 10...6 days ago down to 9 mg daily.
aside from fatigue have not had any real discern able side-effects...however, I have developed a rash on my upper back...small bumps. Could this be related to the prednisone...or the PMR?...and, if so, what is the solution?
Thanks!

What is the solution? Maybe a bit of cortisone cream on that area? Identifying the culprit may be difficult. In the early days of PMR I had a bad rash, around my ribs and across my back mainly. It eventually turned out to be to something in wheat (not gluten probably since I can eat other gluten-containing grains with no problem) and not eating wheat products was the answer. PMR is due to an immune system disorder, it means your immune system can cause all sorts of problems as well if you are really unlucky.

I have my own itches today - just had a 24 hour ECG which is being repeated as the first one was unacceptable to the doctor reading it. The stick-on pads are driving me NUTS!!!!
