Thank you for your response. I think we have so much to learn about these interrelated conditions and how to treat them.
I don’t think there is anything more I can do to improve the terrain. I have optimized my approach healthy lifestyle: an anti-inflammatory (no gluten or dairy, low carb diet), relationships and useful purposeless, meditation, movement (walking and weight training as tolerated), and I am always working on better sleep(sometimes complicated by pain).
What else??? Suggestions always welcome.

I did all of that too. I don't eat much of anything. I probably need to cut out the sweets too if I expect to lose the prednisone weight gain

Aquacise helps me the most. I'm increasing my endurance and exercising as much as I can. I exercise much more now than I did during the aftermath of PMR and subsequent long term Prednisone use. PMR fast-forwarded the time clock when I felt as though I had aged 50 years. Now I have rediscovered swimming.

I'm getting back to where I used to be when I loved to exercise. Now I feel like someone in their 70's is supposed to feel like taking into account everything that happened to me in my lifetime. It was still a good lifetime though.

I agree ... there is still much to learn about these interrelated conditions. Maybe the next time it happens to someone ... things will be better. On the positive side of things -- I feel like I have learned a lot from the experience. I can sleep easily now.

After resisting acupuncture for many years, I'm currently giving it a try.

Infections were and still are my worst nightmare. I can't change my genetics but a better lifestyle goes a long way! Now it is time to work in my garden. I wish you well.
