Does anyone with PMR have any data that confirms THC or CBD should not be used while on Prednisone because of the cannabinoids intensifying or potentiating the adverse negative effects of the Prednisone. Please be specific about what THC-CBD combination product works the best for your pain through decreasing the inflammation. The tinctures are expensive. Bot those of us with PMR live each day in life altering pain. There must be someone using cannabinoids successfully that can share their experience to help those of us in severe pain from PMR to decreased pain.

I am down to Prednisone 4.5mg from 20 mg in January 2025. I have had 2 flares when I had to temporarily increase dosage.
I use THC/CBD/CBN 5mg (1:1) gummies for sleep. Which has allowed me to sleep a full 7-8 hours. I still wake up a little stiff but it is getting better. I am a nurse a worry about the slippery slope of cannabis but the benefit of sleep outweighs the low-dose of THC in the gummy.
