Hello @cgm. I combined your discussion with an existing discussion titled "Low Does Naltrexone and Prednisone" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ldn-and-prednisone.

I did this so you can meet the many members who have been prescribed low dose naltrexone, like @sandmason, @emo, and @janielou56 have shared their LDN experiences.

@cgm, if you are comfortable sharing, has this treatment regimen been prescribed for you? Have you tried other treatments in the past?

Hello! My rheumatologist has recommended it. I am down to 3.5 mg of prednisone, tapering by 1/2 mg monthly. We tried reducing by 1 mg and I kept flaring. I have also gone gluten-free, which has helped and have added 1tbsp flaxseed oil daily. Trying all the things! lol. Thanks to everyone sharing their experiences. It’s truly helpful to know others who are experiencing PMR.
