I was on the Medrol 4 mg dose pack and after 2 days I have had the worst itching all over my body since. I took my last pill yesterday and still itching all over. Has anyone else had this problem? I was on it for my ear (sudden hearing loss) and had no itching before taking it. This is not listed in the side effects. I've been itching everywhere and have some small bumps in those places.
Methylprednisolone - Can this cause itching all over body?

I also itched like a mother, the whole time! I certainly hope there’s an alternative bc this was the first time I have felt what it as like to be pain free in 20 years!! Chronic sore neck and painful joints due to AI disease.

Before the weekend arrives, I suggest you inform your Dr. asap, you may be having an allergic reaction and you are right it is not listed as a possible side effect, but do not let it go unnoticed, as I said, get on the phone and inform to your Dr. what you are experiencing before the weekend, it could get worse or perhaps not, but do not take any chances.
