Hi, I started taking LF a month ago with very good results, i.e., reduced shoulder and hip pain during the night by 40-50% and hand morning stiffness the same. I have been dealing with PMR/RA for over six years. Methotrexate did not help me, along with a few other standard RA medicines. Switched to Prednisone 20mg and tapered off 2-3 times down to 5 mg. Below 7-8 mg symptoms started to get more severe again. My Rheumatologist really wanted me off prednisone so I stopped completely over a year ago and pursued a better nutrition and mostly plant based diet. This approach did help to a degree and I continue it with LF , 20 mg per day. Thanks for this forum and best wishes to you all.
