@dani26 you’re so welcome. That prednisone is wonderful, but like you say, skin becomes thin, bruise easily and poor healing of wounds. My bones were thinning after two years of it, so my doctor had me wean very slowly off it. I’ll be honest, I do miss it! Best wishes for a full recovery for you!

@gila are you taking calcium and vitamin D supplements for the bones?

@gila You mentioned that your bones were thinning because of the prednisone, so the doctor stopped your taking it. Did the doctor recommend that you have a DEXA scan to decide if you might have osteoporosis? I was on prednisone for about 2 years and did get osteoporosis and was started on a drug to build up my bones. Ask your doctor?!
