                        I have taken prednisone over a period (on & off) of 4 years.  I am now taking 5mg daily.  The hair under my arms is gone and the hair on my head is thinning.  I was off for about 18 months during this 4 year period, but, none of the hair has grown back in.  My doctor is not alarmed.
