Muscle twitching is considered a side-affect of Prednisone in a small number of people. But unless you have some other symptoms too, it’s likely to be related to the underlying autoimmune disease. A good summary about Prednisone is here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601102.html

Autoimmune disorder residuals are often behind “jerky movements” and can hang around for 3 years or so. You can read about experiences from other forum members here:
