Hi all
I’m 7 weeks into my PMR pred journey I’m doing well, I’m back to being me as long as I manage my energy vs rest. I’ve started reducing from 15mg to 12.5mg and hopefully soon I’ll reduce again🤞
however I’ve started getting an itchy red neck, I’m moisturising like crazy and resisting the urge to scratch which is hard. Anyone else have this?
hi,
All side effects if your read Patient Information Leaflet- and now you asked you can see related posts…. Maybe try a calming lotion - try asking local pharmacy.
Thank you! I didn’t think to read the leaflet! Good idea I’ll try a calming lotion. It’s worse when I wear anything near/around my neck… and I know what the answer is there 😂
Reading the leaflet is a bit daunting…. but 🙈 it does help sometimes… but always good to know you’re not the only one…
My neck was an issue on high doses - so sympathise…
Might want to have a look of this as well -

Thank you DorsetLady it was good to read the very useful information in the link again.
I am so sorry you have been diagnosed with PMR. Do you think the rash could be problems with washing powder or the material of the clothes you are wearing? As DorsetLady said why not talk to a pharmacist? They tend to be pretty knowledgable about these things.
PMR is life changing and rest is important. You may like to join our gardening group where there are some lovely photos. facebook.com/groups/6288051...
thanks Piglett I did wear a new fleece which had a high neck which aggravated my neck, I’ve since washed it with my normal washing powder so I hope it’s something as simple as that. I’ll definitely talk to the pharmacist too.
Just joined your group too 😊
Good luck with the pharmacist. I hope you enjoy the gardening group.
