I have PMR but my wife has cancer. (GBM). I give her the PURA RSO 50/50. She is not in any pain but the RSO helps relax her at night and she sleeps well. Does not answer your question about the RSO helping with PMR pain. I tried the gummies. It did not work for me.
Thanks for sharing your PMR lasted 6 months.... I always like to hear people's experience with, how long it lasted and what they did. Is different with everybody. My doc said that only 1/3 of her patients have PMR longer than 2 years. I pray for these people. This disease is so debilitating! I pray for the people suffering with condition.
I'm a very active person, I play at high level pickleball and train all the time. 4/5 times a week. One day at the end of Feb I woke up with pain in one shoulder, 3 days later pain on the other shoulder and 3 days after that on my hips. I went from very active to cripple.
6 months ago my youngest son passed away and I think the trauma caused this.
Thank you for your comment! I was hoping someone would have a positive opinion or experience with CBD. I hope I don't have to use them.
I'm very determined to beat this with 0 inflammation diet. My inflammation as per last week lab work is 11. I'll have another lab work in a week after I'm done fasting for 2/3 days.
Thank you! I do not take any meds at all and I will not. Today, after almost 3 months of eating 0 carb I notice a little bit of less pain.... we'll see tomorrow.
I have read that 1) once the inflammations numbers go to normal it could take a few months after that for any autoimmune to go away.
2) If inflammation is not the cause of the pain/symptoms it could be something else going on.
I've been suggested that the grief and pain after my dear son died 6 months ago could be the reason of my polymyalgia, emotional trauma could do it, so now I'm on a quest to learn how to overcome the symptoms.
My doctor told me that most of her patients get over it after a year, 1/3 of patients have the disorder longer than 2 years. I can't imagine... I came down with this last week last February and the idea of another month with this is overwhelming!

1 ReactionIf you are looking for dietary options, my rheumatologist recommended gluten free, green tea, and dairy free…
Thank you! For the last 3 months I've been on a 0 carb diet. I will add green tea to see what happen.
Yesterday I had blood work for inflammation and the numbers were perfect but the pain still unbearable.

1 ReactionThat is so interesting. My lab work is also perfect regarding inflammatory markers and does not reflect my symptoms…
