Hi, I've had ITP for almost 4 years now, the highest dose of pred has been 120mg but i have been on N-plate for about 1 year now and pred is down to 6mg, I'm 23. I have noticed over the last 6 month my hair on my head has gone extremely thick and wirey. Has anyone else experienced this/ have an reasoning behind it?

You are lucky then, mine does the complete opposite, I tend to lose lots of hair. Then again, I suffer from ITP, Thyroid issues and I have cirrhosis of the liver stage 4. Its probably the combination of all this together. Take that extra growth as a blessing.
