Anyone successfully treating PMR without Prednisone?

I am in severe pain with soreness aching in shoulders, upper back, both hips and now headache. I am starting to get some numbness in both hips. I was treated for GCA several years ago starting at 60mg prednisone. Within 6 months I was down to 5mg then a flare so doctor put me back up to 80mg but quickly got me down to 20mg. I continued tapering over the following 6months then off. I had some lasting side effects and watching for in infections from dental work so I am very fearful of taking Prednisone again. This came on gradually over the past month. I called my Rheumatologist to ask if Plaquenil or Methotrexate would hep but he insist this is from long standing Fibromyalgia due to labs normal for inflammation. I can barely walk, stand up or turn over in bed. Taking 400mg Gabepentin daily as Dr recommends. No help. I have never had this severe pain from Fibromyalgia. My husband came down, suddenly, with PMR about 10 years ago with symptoms like I now have. His gradually cleared with Plaquenil and Methotrexate. Has anyone had success treating this type pain with OTC meds such as Omega or Bromelain or anything else?
