This was a very helpful response. I have been adjusting my Prednisone and now seem ok on 10 mg in AM and 5 mg after dinner. Pain is now minimal and my brain fog gone. My MD is on board. Rheumatologist not available for 4-6 months but my primary is working with me and is receptive to my feedback of adjustments.
I guess I need to be doing a more careful diet of anti-inflammatory. I could be alittle better in that department.
Did you find your diet made a big difference?
TIA/ Betsy

@betsyhase my diet was great before PMR. I didn’t need to modify or change it.
This:
Vegan except raw fish (sushi) salmon and tuna for omega-3, lots of vegetables and fruit smoothies with anti-inflammatories like blueberries, strawberries, banana, kiwi, apple, aloe vera juice. Old fashioned rolled oats in the smoothie or cooked and add those fruits to break the breakfast monotony.
No dairy except cottage cheese, Parmesan and plain Greek yogurt.
salads
Moroccan ev olive oil, olive oil butter, only sour dough bread.
Local raw honey and 2 yard eggs every day.
Walnuts, pecans, and peanut butter.
Plant based burgers or chicken occasionally.
No sodas. No sugar. No sweets or candy.
Oat milk, coconut water, fruit juices, black coffee, and water ( 3 quarts a day, more in the summer.)
I know I rambled but that’s my diet.

@betsyhase I eliminated refined sugar and it helped bunches. It took about a month to get past the craving for sugar. Thee years later I don't even want sugar any longer. Lipid panel showed amazing results. Good luck.
