I am looking for a good cookbook or website maybe even a dietician for my RA. My rheumy is trying to reduce my prednisone after 4-5 years (I'm at 4 mg now) for my PMR. He also has me on Aria Simponi infusions for my RA. I'm in more pain now. Is it the reduction of prednione or Aria Simponi that is causing my pain. I'm 75 year old female & a caregiver for my husband with LBD.
Your thoughts?

Hello:
Look up anti-inflammatory diet, Mediterranean diet, which will give you helpful ideas and tell you what foods to avoid.
Changing my diet has helped me immensely!
Good luck and wish you well.

if I were a betting gal, I’d bet the increased pain is a function of backing off Prednisone. I love that stuff so much - so I try never to take it. But when I must, I try to do only 5-10 days.
