Has anyone used an anti inflammatory diet to get off prednisone ?

I started but got lazy. I'm not a good record keeper. This sounds like my situation exactly but I'm still on prednisone 7.5 and mtx 15/week. My sed rate is normal but my crp is in the 3+ range. Did u have relapses.

Yes, I went back and forth between 1mg and 1/2mg the last six months of 3-1/2 years when I first had PMR. I think diet plays a part also and I ate a little healthier with less sugar and inflammatory foods my second time around with PMR six years later and was able to taper off in 1-1/2 years.
