Jumping in here....I can really empathize with your itching. I've had RSD for 17 years now and what's bothering me the most in the last few months is the itching I'm having for the first time (always another adventure!) I not only have the "RSD RASH" on my leg that doesn't respond to any anti-itching cream but the best thing I've found for it is OTC Eucerin anti-itch cream - not great but better than nothing - and I also have itching from the fentanyl I've been taking for years and years now. Wish I could get off of narcotics but nothing else really works. And it's scarey b/c I'm getting more and more tolerant to the drug which makes it not as effective anymore.

I hope the itching calms down with the prednisone. This is awful and keeps me awake at night as well.
