Surfing the net on PMR alternative treatments, one can go down no end of rabbit holes.
Lot of snake oil salespeople out there!
Have come to the conclusion, Prednisone and Actemra aside, there are no "magic Vitamins or supplements"
that are "cure alls" , of value in PMR treatment that do not have inherent risks .
Are there not enough risks associated with Prednisone and Actemra?
I believe evidenced based treatments as prescribed by Rheumatologists are the standard of care
and to deviate from good medical science and advice is risky at best and life threatening at worst.
Anecdotally, I believe what has been an effective treatment modality in conjunction with Prednisone and actemra , has been elimination of
processed food and in the main avoiding foods that before being processed had legs and eyes.
I have been taking Vitamin D 800mg /daily and B12.
Both levels on the most recent blood profile were in the normal range.
A worry about Tumeric?
Is the liver not working a bit overtime when one is on Prednisone and Actemra,
so is it wise to put additional stress on this organ?
Be interested to know more?

@pmrigca I think anyone with an autoimmune disorder needs to be very open-minded. It is one area where doctors sometimes have to admit “we just don’t know”.
As for the relationship between turmeric and prednisone there are contadictory sources on the web. Thanks for sharing what has worked well for you. I am sure you struggled to get to that point. I asked Chatgpt about natural remissions. “Natural remissions are unpredictable! “ the happy AI bot said. Pretty smart for a robot.

@pmrigca Yes ,I followed medical advice but the side from prednisone to be pain free from severe inflammation ends up with bone loss calcium depletion, Potassium loss, high sugar, mental imbalance high blood pressure, and weak immund system. I recommend taking calcium and vitamin D supplements because of the calcium depletion and bone loss caused by prednisone.
