Barbara,

I've lost quite a bit of hair while being on predisone...I've cut my hair short, and have been using lots of oils/conditions to combat the dryness...It hasn't been as bad since doing these things (especially the haircut), but my hair is still weak/brittle.

I've also had some bruising while on prednisone, but not like you describe. I've also read that Imuran can do that. I also noticed that bruises I had just prior to starting prednisone took forever to go away. I started about a month after my sternotomy, and the bruises stuck around for like two more months...I was also really anemic, so this may have had something to do with it...
