Good day to you, my name is Deborah and this is my first time responding. None the less I am prescribed to take the methotrexate, but I hesitate to do that I was told it is a Cancer drug, and I didn't want to exacerbate or create any symptoms that were not there. I was given Hydochloroquine x2 a day and still find no relief in the pain that I am experiencing now I have fingers that are beginning to swell and deform. I was also told I have Rheumatoid arthritis. and being a diabetic to add to the already existing symptoms I am becoming a royal mess. How do I find a breakthrough of this? is there some type of remedy other than pills? 🙁

Welcome Deborah @dbrh56, Sorry to hear you haven't found much relief for your symptoms. It sounds like you have a lot going on. I'm sure nutrition can help some but I don't think it will provide the pain relief that we all want from PMR. I don't have any experience with medications for PMR other than prednisone but there are a lot of members that do. There is another discussion that you might find helpful.

Are you taking Hydroxychloroquine twice a day along with prednisone for your PMR?
