Thank you. I will let myself exhale for a few weeks. But they will see me again if I don't decide to go to Hopkins. I'm about 45 min away and it may take awhile to get an appt...also, they want so much background material, it may take more of a life span than I have left to get it all together. I know they have access to all they need online...wish they'd get what they need.
I agree about the diet...I do eat very clean now, but can improve.
Can't take pred but am open to LDN and Celebrex.
Be well.

Blood tests for inflammation are the best determining factors for PMR. When those markers are elevated, in my case prednisone relieved totally. I began 20 mg in July 2023 and I am now completely off prednisone. I am 67 year old healthy female. I do still have aches and pains but nothing like the hip and shoulder muscle pain I first experienced. . This forum has helped me so much, hope it helps you. Good luck to you.
