As my doctor said, prednisone is a miracle and a misery. Longterm use (more than two weeks) has a host of really icky side effects. She was very reluctant to diagnose PMR because my blood work didn't confirm. But there was no other explanation for my shoulder problems. For a rather common problem, it's amazing there's so little good research

I have never touched them and will do anything not to. I have every contraindication possible.
I had a similar doc who did an ultrasound, as that is the process for detecting PMR, though, of course, like everything else, it's not definitive...just shows how inflamed one is, etc. She was so caring and knew I was medication-sensitive and, as a result, averse as well.
I was trying to get myself on board to try LDN. And I may still do that.
Tell me, is your pain bi-lateral? And what do you do for pain?
I kind of went into remission, but after a series of stressful events of late, it seems to be returning...............
Wishing you the best.
