Really helpful, thanks. I am already taking calcium, D3 and turmeric. My situation is complicated because I also have Crohn’s disease, which thankfully is in remission on inflixamab. But…inflixamab is not helpful for PMR. There is always room for improvement with diet and exercise. I will make sure my a1c is closely monitored. After five days on prednisone, I already have insomnia, but I can live with that because I have lots of energy (haha)!

How much prednisone are you taking with the infliximab? I assume Crohn's was diagnosed first and then PMR.

I was diagnosed with reactive arthritis at age 32 and PMR at age 52. Are you aware of the diagnosis of spondyloarthritis? "Enteropathic arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are types of spondyloarthritis."
