Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi All, Has anyone experienced hair loss from being on Prednisone? I have been on it steadily since March and I have noticed losing more and more hair when I shower and every time I brush my hair. In all of the info I have read about the side effects of Pred, I have never read anything that suggests hair loss as one of the possible side effects. I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their hair??? I am not on any other immunosuppressent, just Pred, vit D, Tums w/calcium, fish oil capsules and MSM/Glucosamine. Also, Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! Hugs, in UT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi , Yes hair loss is just another side effect from Prednisone as well as several other meds.......you normally lose a little hair as the season changes but I know from experience and from reading about Pred (as well as other steroids) that hair loss is common. I lost so much of mine that I bought a wig and then my hair FINALLY started coming back in some. It is still thin but I do not have to wear a wig at this time. Sorry you have to go through this.....

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hey Matt, good to see you posting, I am behind so rather then catch up, which will mean I will always be behind, I will just start at the top and work my way down. You know I lost a lot of hair when I got the whole body sarc rash, I use to have really thick hair, now I don't, but not complaining mind you, I do still have hair . So my hair loss was from the sarcoid rash, which I continue to have now and then, more now lately. Hope you are doing well, are you coming out this way this summer? Love ya Marla tony. my hair also started to fall out and they have never been able to tell me why.Before i got diagnosed with sarc they said it was just male pattern baldness but i have always felt it didnt sound right then one doc did say it might be connected to my sarc but he didnt know, mean while half my hair has fallen out, Matt in Sea -- Marla Bramer Independent Beauty Consultant Kaymbramer@... www.marykay.com 'I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you; Plans to give you a future and a hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
