Hair loss from PMR or Steroids?

I have never noticed my hair falling out before, but lately I feel the odd one dropping down my back when I brush it. I believe I read that Prednisone can cause hair loss, but you may want to check with your doctor. Been on Prednisone since Jan. 4th, 2022. Hoping not. 🙁

Thank you. Yes I plan to ask my doctor next week. good luck to you as well. I hope not too. I had significant stress once the PMR started due to the pain and trying to figure it all out. so I was thinking maybe that's what caused it but I'm concerned it might be the Prednisone also.
