It must be different with every body , I have taken Pred many times in my life
and have been on a low dose 10mg for over 3 years now. My hair is not only
still thick I am getting hair in places I never had it before. Ears ,back..
I use to have hairy legs and that is gone, I am not sure it is from Pred though.
