I lost quite a bit of hair over the past 14 months on prednisone. My rheumy said it was not due to prednisone. I saw my dermatologist and she agreed and added it likely is the stress one's body goes through with PMR that causes the hair loss. I am down to 3 mg of prednisone now and my hair is coming back but fuzzy! Hope it calms down. Very thin skin on my shins. My derm said my skin is permanently damaged which is super annoying. Just a small scratch and I bleed like crazy. You know what I mean...
