I have been taking Humira. I have taken two doses. The four first shots and then the two second shots. But while taking the Humira I was on prednisone. I was on 40 mg of prednisone for the first dose and 20 mg of prednisone for the second dose. Today I went down to 5mg of prednisone and I have a rash and am itchy all over. I haven't had a shot since 1/14. I am worried that I was having a reaction the whole time but the prednisone was keeping it in check. I cannot think of anything new that I have done in the last 24 hours that I could be reacting to. No new meds. No new soaps/ shampoos/ lotions. I did try Greek yogurt today but I eat regular yogurt with no problem as long as I take my Lactaid pills. I added vitamin e about five days ago. I am worried about taking my next shot on Monday. I also don't know if tomorrow during the day I should call my emergency GI or if it can wait til Monday. The rash isn't bad, it is itchy but bearable. I am not having any swelling or trouble breathing. Thanks
