Prednisone sure can be a confusing medication. Been on pred for 3&1/2 years. Now on 12 mg. for two months. Since day one, I started growing fuzzy hair all over my face and shoulders. Then I switched to Rayos and started growing a thick prickley hair on my chin and less of the fuzzy hair. Now all of a sudden I am growing no hair at all on my face or shoulders. I have alligator skin that is just horrendous looking. Now I also have a bright red left cheek. Looks awful and makeup doesn't cover it very well. I never know what the day is going to bring. What a prednisone journey.
Happy day to all.

Can't lift my left arm high enough to shave under it due to shoulder op / injury. Surprised I haven't got a tree growing (ha, ha). What do you take Rayos / Lodotra for? I need some if it negates the need to shave armpits!!!
Because it is the only form of corticosteroid available here that isn't methyl pred that really was awful in terms of side effects and didn't work to boot! But it is great - no morning stiffness
