I convinced my rheumatologist to prescribe HQC to go with my Pred after reading it could help. This was during Covid. I don’t think it helped with my PMR but am convinced it did help protecting against Covid. Just my two cents.

@southtexas, @johnbishop, and all...I'm feeling poorly at the moment, with extreme fatigue...went to bed for the night last night at 5pm... just tested negative for Covid, 2nd time in 7 months. PMR is still acting up but controlled some with 10mg prednisone.

I am convinced, as I was in 2020, that I should have been taking Hydroxychloroquine regularly based on the research at the time, politics and politicians aside!!!!!! I think many of us in the older ages with medical issues would have been helped, kept out of the hospitals and off vents, had the doctors been more proactive with this medicine. I have Sarcoid from age 40, and other autoimmune issues, so I am sold on using this medication for help with PMR, GCA, and Covid...

I'll let you know how it goes...Also, anyone know anything about Rick Simpson Oil? I was told some patients with extreme nerve and other pain are using it, not to ingest, but topically mixed with body lotion like Gold Bond or Jergens or whatever. A small amount mixed in the lotion bottle and applied will help with extreme pain issues when MM is not available, or you need additional help.

I'm researching this oil for my son, Dystonia and extreme uncontrolled nerve pain...and myself. Any comments appreciated.

Blessings, Elizabeth
