Methylpred DP and allergic reaction

my nose itching when i take it.

I had a severe allergic reaction to a Sulfa drug that I was taking to prevent infection . I had a skin cancer removed from my nose. As a precaution I was given Sulfa. I became very ill. I ran a high fever ( 103) . The Doctor said it was not from the Sulfa drug. Advised to go to Primary Care Dr to check for a Virus ( flu) . I ended up in the Emergencey Room at the Hospital the same day . By then I had broken out in a red rash all over my body. They immediateky asked if I was on Sulfa drug. I was given a steroid shot for the rash & tylenol for fever ;also prescription for Methylpred. It worked great. Now, after 2 months, I believe I am having side effects from the Methylpred. The instructions were to stay out of the sun whild taking Methylpred and for a while after the 6 days. It has been 2 months . When I get in the sun I break out in a rash that feels, looks & acts like a sunburn. I even peeled. I am 78 yrs old. I do not normally take drugs, so I had no idea I would be allergic to anything. The Pharmacy Dr. does not believe this side effect could last 2 months. What do you think? Ed

I am taking Methlypred for an allergic reaction. I was initially given Prednisone (which I had taken before with no serious side-effects other than insomnia) and had a fairly severe reaction. The methylpred does seem to be clearing up the allergy problems. The main side effects so far seem to be an occasional tingling, itchy feeling and belching shortly after taking the medication.

I was given this medicine for an adverse reaction to an antibiotic, I am not sure it was really an allergic reaction though, because I had no sweling. The antibiotic was prescribed for sinusitis and probably an ear problem ,that was supposed to be the cause for my first and only problem, dizzyness.
Anyway, I've been feeling really weird. First the anxiety, then the headaches, now a burning sensation in my neck and back and later insomnia. I can't differentiate what is a disease and what is a side effect. This symptoms are driving me nuts. And the worst is that my dizzyness is even worse. If I new the side effects s I would never have taken this.
