I have been following the Curable app and Pain Reprocessing Therapy for a couple weeks. It has made a difference in my mindset about PMR. In just a couple days I have been able to use the techniques and have learned to; take a deep breath and breathe energy into the area of pain, then, as I call it “put the horse, whom I call Trixie, back in the barn (aka brain)”, and then reframe my thoughts to something I am grateful for and the pain dissipates. I know - hard to believe! Also, the morning stiffness and pain has subsided. Plus, pain which awakens me in the middle of the night is dissipating. I am also doing the work of identifying stressors in my life and becoming aware of other factors in my personality that contribute to some of those stressors. Let me be clear…I am still on Prednisone 11mg, but have been able to reduce it by 1 mg per week without problems, so far.
Has anyone else had success with pain reprocessing therapy?

Thank you for your post. I think we can benefit by all sorts of coping techniques. I'm open to methods of coping. Changing the pain dynamic is a dramatic method that helps healing, I'll try the Curable app and use it with my 10.5mg Prednisone, Yoga, swimming, and acupuncture!

I had to go to dexamethasone 3 mg Qd. Stopped prednisone. In 3 + years now. So far doing great
