can't believe that I have to come in about every 2 and a half weeks
when I used to go about 3-4 weeks before feeling like I needed my
hair trimmed. Nails have to be cut about every two weeks.
Don't notice any dryness of hair.. Skin has always been on the dry side
but then I'm an "old lady" it happens

Double Base was recommended to me awhile back on this sire. If you are in US you can order it from Amazon and in the UK I'm not sure but I think they sell it in drug stores or whatever you call that kind of store. 😀
Besides that I use Argan oil. I put a couple of pumps of each into the palm of my hand and rub it on my arms and legs. What's left over on my hands I use on my face. It seems to absorb after a couple minutes and is not greasy. It has really helped the dry skin caused from pred. The hair problem I solved by wearing a wig and I have really grown to like them.
i found them on line. They are a bit pricey but well worth it. The synthetic are better- easier to care for and look quite natural.

Can't tell whether the hair loss was due to life stress or being on Prednisone for close to 2 years. Supposedly it is one of the side effects. Or maybe just aging. I am 70 this year. I take HRT, so it can't be that hormone loss. Skin is dry, but I moisturize daily tocompensate. I use an inexpensive, non branded store stuff that is also fragrance free. Seems to work on the skin.
