General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since one year passed without prednisolone , so it is ( symptoms ) not due to withdrawal syndrome.
Since , you mentioned in your query that tiredness, cold feelings,headache all are just after withdrawal of prednisolone .
Prednisolone causes reabsorption of calcium from bone so in my opinion these symptoms may be due to depletion of calcium level in bone .
So please get in blood for calcium, bone density test.
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
One more thing osteoporosis may be one reason ( more in females).
Good luck.
Dr. HET
