I'm a 27 y/o male who's been diagnosed with Lyme disease and co-infections; babesia and bartonella.
Lyme is notorious for causing adrenal fatigue and thyroid issues. I have some symptoms of hypothyroidism that were induced by using oxycodone (i.e. cold hands and feet, cold intolerance, dry skin, loss of hair (scalp, eye brows, and body hair). I've been losing my hair since I was 19, which is when I believe I was first infected...and it's becoming very noticable a frustrating.
This type of hair loss is most commonly due to behavioral barbarism, food or environmental allergies, or, mites or fungal skin infections, such as ringworm. If it was due to an a fungal or mite infection other cats in your household would probably be exhibiting symptoms.
Please take him to the vet for evaluation. The vet can perform a skin scraping and other diagnostic tests. If it is truly behavioral, there are excellent behavioral modification medications that should help.
If radiation is used to treat the breast, there is no hair loss on your head. But there might be loss of hair around the nipple, for women who have hair in that location. Radiation to the brain, used to treat metastatic cancer in the brain, usually causes complete hair loss on the head.

Tamoxifen may cause some thinning of your hair, but not baldness. No matter how ready you think you are, it's always a terrible shock when your hair falls out.

At first this seemed to help but after she came off of the prednisolone she started to lose hair again and the flakes started again. My vet then advised me to give her a constant dose of the prednisolone i.e 1 tablet every other day. This did not work.The yellow flakes are now all over her body and she scratches all night. She also has problems shaking her head because the ear seems to be paining her.
Felt like thousands of pins on scalp, was extremely photosensitive, had white residue on scalp, oily hair, and lots of hair loss. I stopped using everything
After about a week, Doc put me on a 10 day prednisone regime. 50 mg for two days, followed by 40 mg for two days, until I had two days of 10 mg. After about 3 days, I had no irritation or hair loss. I visited my general physician and he advised me to stop the prednisone at this time. I did.
After her having several visits to the GP and with my persistent concerns my Mother was prescribed a dose of Prednisolone, 40mg for 5 days. My Mother responded really well to the prednisolone and has not coughed since she has completed the course last Friday (7th November 2008). The only draw-back to the Prednisolone has been that she has experienced steroid induced diabetes which has now reverted. She has also continued with her inhalers and feels more relief from them now.
Our cat WILL NOT stop licking himself. Ripping out his hair and creating huge red sores. We've got him on prednisolone from the vet, had an allergy shot, sprayed hydrogen peroxide, no chew, and even tried wrapping the wound but he still manages to lick and lick and lick. Is there a nasty tasting home remedy we can make to spray on him to get him to stop.
hi - i've had dry eyes for one year, the initial symptoms were just dry eyes, this increased to mucins, then itching, redness, tearing. i've been to so many consultant opthalmologists. i'm now 29, female, nothing is helping. my current diagnosis is ocular allergies or rosacea. i have no skin symptoms, but have noticed a red nose. anyway, all of the doctors say there are no signs of blepharitis. I am on a tetracycline antibiotic for acne - for several years.
Easy bruising can occur when the blood vessels are weakened by diseases like scurvy, aging, certain medications such as aspirin, prednisone and prednisolone, or due to absent or deficient blood-clotting elements. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor and have diagnostic tests done for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
The doctor has prescribed two types of eye drops to be administered 4 times a day. They are ketorolac tromethamine and prednisolone acetate. Will my vision recover or is this just stopping further loss? I use to have better than 20/20 and am praying I will get it back.
I was taken off prednisolone pills end of July and had my most recent relapse at its peak early October. Since end of September, I had alread told my neurologist of increasing tightness and loss of sensation on my feet and body to the extent that I didnt feel when I stepped on broken glass or when I sat on a pair of pointed scissors. Now the main question is, could this 4th attack have been avoided if I was started on Rebif in August when my dr took me off prednisolone pills?
I'm losing hair too. Not in clumps but I clog the drain once a week from my hair loss. And all my friends said their hair was so full and healthy during pregnancy and after lost some. I get a ball of hair during evey wash and its not normal for me also my scalp itches like crazy and I don't have bugs lol o had my husband check lol!
I lost a ton my first pregnancy. I was taking OTC prenatals. This time around my doc recommended prescription prenatals and I haven't had any hair loss or breakage this time. And bonus, the prescription prenatals are free with Affordable Healthcare Act!
