Yes, I take calcium, biotin, vitamin C, and Vitamin D3 with K2. I also do weights three times a week at the Y and tai chi, which I have done for years.

This is a very individual disease and what works for one does not work for all. However, I struggled for 4 months on Meloxicam (mega NSAIDs) and only found relief with prednisone. I am willing to suffer the side effects of prednisone for the function I have gained from it. But I hope to be done with it in January, minus the PMR. We will see how that goes! But staying on on prednisone is not something I want to do unless I am forced by my symptoms (not numbers on a page or some doctor's guessing). Good luck to all!
