I have had PMR since February of 2019. Started on 10 mgs Prednisone and swung back and forth between 4 mgs and backup to 8 mgs. I am now on 2 mgs. with the help of hydroxychloroquine - so far so good. However, I have had an itchy scalp and small amount of hair loss since on Prednisone and also random itching by my right shoulder blade. My skin has dried and thinned quite a bit, but then I am 78 so who knows if that is not normal for my age. I have been on Calcium D3 for a while now and will have a bone scan later this month. My nails are strong and when I go to the dentist he always says "good bones" as my teeth are strong. However, don't know if that means my bones are good or not. Will find out after the bone scan.
