PMR, Hair
Posted , 10 users are following.
Wanted to say something positive! I have had PMR for 19 months, started prednisone at 15 briefly, then 10m...have tapered down to 8m presently. I color my hair, bleaching it in streaks. 8 months ago It dried up completely, would not take any conditioning substance and really thinned out....but now it has returned to normal...? Must be the prednisone, but good to know the hair gets better while I am still on the prednisone...strange!

One of my real breaks in terms of genetics was hair that needed no attention- wash and go, cut it occasionally. Post-pred, it is getting thin and limp. It's a minor thing, but now that I am down to 7 mg, I hope the new growth in will curl and stand up by itself.
On the other hand, I am not sure that I want the fat cheeks to go. Better a chipmunk than a withered prune!

But I've also got a horrible hamster face. I hate it! I used to have a slim face that suited me just fine. Now people I haven't seen for a while don't immediately recognise me.
Only two weeks ago, I went to a birthday party and bounded up to a woman I had met several times before and have had some good chats with. "Hi!" I said with enthusiasm. She replied "umm hi" in a voice that clearly said "who is this crazy woman?".
I later told her who I was and she was gracious enough to say that she wasn't good with faces. We both laughed, as we both knew she was being kind.

I recall somebody on this site having a reaction, but no longer recall from what dosage.
