The increased dosage of Prednisolone agreed with Doctor H (30mg to 60mg) seems to be working. My skin seems to be getting better every day and I think it was about Saturday 5th I noticed my face wasn’t so tender and sore to the touch.

As you might expect, my scalp is also much clearer and my hair seems to be less tufty. I think I might have lost a little bit of hair, but WTH, that comes with age anyway doesn’t it?

Something to look forward to as my skin gets better, and at the moment I need things to look forward to more than I’ve ever done.
