Sev symptoms and conditions

Severe hair loss/thinning. I've been on a low dose of prednisone for 11 years. My dose varies from 5/10 depending on the flare up. Before prednisoe, I had A LOT hair on my head.... thick, curly,healthy, shiny hair. I have about half the hair left on my head that I had before. It's now dry, brittle, lifeless, and damages very easy. It's hard to get any length on hair, because as it grows, it's breaks off...it's quite thin and has been ruined by prednisone.

I am shocked. For months I have been suffering from sev ere muscle cramps in my legs and back that have meant I've been on increased painkillers. I have been blaming lack of exercise, but now that I've been going to a gym for weeks I've been blaming the new exercise. Now I'm questioning Lipitor - and reading so many of the side effects about muscle problems makes me think it's the drug. I also have had increasing urinary incontinence - more blaming of me. A new doctor said I need blood tests to see if I need a change of blood pressure medication - by chance I note that he has written on that request that I am on Lipitor. I didn't mention my aches and pains because not one doctor has told me there could be any side effects with Lipitor. Hence, I am shocked that there is so much documentation about the serious side effects of it.
