Anyone having any luck with treating PMR without any specific medicati
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Sep 13, 2025 | Replies (71)Comment receiving replies
I’m almost 3 yrs with PMR on 5 mg prednisone as of now, I’m 76. Has anyone used Botox injections on their face to help soften wrinkles, yes I’m vain. If so, any side effect? Thank you

I have had PMR since Dec 2024. The advice I received from my trusted injector and ChatGPT was that Botox is ok to use with Prednisone at 10mg dosage. More invasive cosmetic procedures, such as a deep peel or laser, should not be done until dose is 5mg or less. Prednisone thins the skin and can impact healing. I had successful Xeomin injection after tapering to 10 mg. Anything that helps you feel more confident while fighting this challenging disease is therapy, not vanity, in my opinion!

No I have not. I’m trying to eliminate any more types of injections. But I hear you.
