Itching After Discontinuing Pred?

Thank you for your reply. Doesn't sound like my situation. Mine started right after discontinuing prednisone. I was a little achy and tired for the first few weeks, that's gone, now I'm just itchy. Curious to see if there are others who itch following prednisone.

@sarapia
I have had itching issues even before prednisone. I have an itching on my right shoulder blade that is very annoying. I have discovered that it is a thing with a decompressed nerve in the spine (and the condition has a name) which causes the itching.
Perhaps your itching is just coincidence with the stoppage of prednisone and the source is unrelated. 🤷🏻‍♀️
