Hair thinning very noticeable now, , doubt cause is pmr, rheumy quire sure dont have pmr anymore, but severe arthritis throughout, back, hip hands etc, still on pred doen to 4 mgs now since last April, so wondering if anyone has noticed improvement on hair loss taking collagen supplements, not sure what s causing this hair loss although stressed about so many things going on in my life, blood levels have dropped since Nov , started taking methotrexate injections but stopped after 6 weeks, thinking blood levels dropping caused by methotrexate , but have had injections for over a month now

I have been taking collagen for over a year, but I had significant hair loss about 6 months into it (about 50%) of my hair as measured by the thickness of my pony tail. I was on 8.5 mg of prednisone when the hair loss was most noticeable and it seems to have slowed down some lately. I notice some short hairs so I assume it is growing back in. I am on 6.5 mg of prednisone now.
