Thanks for your story CarlaJ,
Interesting that you did experience the skin thinning at such a relatively low dose and short period.
I do believe age also determines how obvious this symptom becomes to us.
May I ask what your age is?
It's great you're trying to live life to its fullest, but I don't think there's any need to be anxious over progression. Everybody's course is different and not everybody progresses, especially with meds keeping the levels of inflammation in check.

Hi Sharon, I'm 61. 

And yes it is odd to have thin skin on low dose prednisone.  Carla
