I have just been diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I have been started on Steroids for 2 weeks and am not sure what I will be on after the 2weeks. I believe there is another drug that slows down the progression. However, May still require a low dose of steroid. I have osteoporosis and have been on Zolodronic Acid once a year for 3 years. I know steroids cause bone thinning. So one drug is strengthing my bones and one is thinning them! I am not sure what type of medication I can be on my poor bone will be so confused! I also cannot take any types of oral med like Residronate as I have Gerd. Any suggestions if any one else has this issue. Thanks
