Hi @kspowell Thank you for your post! There are several members talking about Prednisone. You will see that I moved your post to a conversation that is already talking side effects of the medication.

Here is some vital information about what you are talking about.
"Does hair grow back after stopping prednisone? Once people stop taking the medication, they may start to see hair growing back within 6 months. In most cases, hair will grow back by itself once a person stops taking the medication. People may be able to help hair growth with at-home treatments."

"Does steroids cause WBC to increase? -- Prednisone can increase WBC as early as the first day of therapy. The elevation and rapidity of increase are dose related. The important pearl is that steroid-induced leukocytosis involves an increase of polymorphonuclear white blood cells with a rise in monocytes and a decrease in eosinophils and lymphocytes." --- Unexplained leukocytosis in a hospitalized patient - MDedge: https://www.mdedge.com/chestphysician/article/144427/infectious-diseases/unexplained-leukocytosis-hospitalized-patient

How long have you been on the medication?

Hi @kspowell, my hair got thinner and less curly on Prednisone, but it has not fallen out in clumps. My WBC increased slightly. I also have reddish marks on my skin that eventually turn brown. I never had those before. I'm still grateful for it as I have an autoimmune disorder and without proper treatment, the consequences would be dire. Good luck to you!

@kspowell Ahhh, loss of hair while on prednisone. Yes that happened to me, also. I had to cleaned the shower drain every day! But it was never so much that anyone noticed, thank heavens. Now that I’m tapering the steroid, hair loss has really diminished. Have faith, hair loss will stop!
