I would like to know lab results of my inflammation markers. If they
are elevated indicating systemic involvement I would consider prednisone
if my earlier experience had no severe side effects. Systemic inflammation
increases our cardiovascular risks or inflammaging of our body. Consider
the Mediterranean diet and prescription alternatives as well.

Those are good suggestions. Also be alert to any symptoms of GCA, since untreated PMR can lead to the development of GCA, as it did in my case. Get a doctor's advice if you have any new headaches, scalp tenderness, facial pain, fatigue in your jaw muscles, etc. Go to the emergency room if you have any unusual vision problems.
I’ve read In some cases inflammation markers lag behind symptoms and a flare can get away

I am definitely upping my vegetables. Doing weekly ordering now with a local co-op that sources from local farms.
Appreciate your suggestions.
