Hi Phillipa,
she actually had a condition called Bullous Pemphigoid, our family doctor had never dealt with it, she was diagnosed by a specialist,
it is an immune disorder, where the body actually attacks the upper layer of skin, causing severe blisters, they had no other recourse but to prescribe the predisone, but it is so sad the bone loss and depression she has suffered as a result of predisone, although she did take it very long term, [2 years,] which is not usually recommended.
i'm so sorry about your mom Phillipa, thanks for writing, your friend...john
