I FINALLY DID IT! My last dose of prednisone was on Sunday, 3/10/24. YIPPEE! I was diagnosed with PMR September of 2022 and have been trying to get off of Prednisone for the last three months. I have some hearing loss in my left ear from PMR and am now diagnosed with osteoporosis from the months of steroids, but I’m so grateful to be off of steroids and feeling pretty good. I also have fibromyalgia and it’s been difficult distinguishing between the two but I think that I have it figured out now. I started taking Liposomal Curcumin last week and it seems to be helping with the fibro pain. I can now get up without feeling like my legs aren’t going to hold me, what a relief! Fingers crossed for the future, but today I’m hopeful and thankful.

Hi @daenika87, I moved you discussion and combined it with an existing discussion titled "Post prednisone" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/post-prednisone/.

I did this so all of the other members talking about getting off of prednisone could see your success!

That’s amazing; congrats!!

What dosage of curcumin are you taking? I also have fibromyalgia and I tried it long ago and considered trying again since I’m not sure if I was taking a high enough dose.

I’m soooo happy for you. Isn’t it the best feeling? You did it congratulations 🤗
