@bugfen it's a bit of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Taking NSAIDs like Aleve on regular long-term basis can have serious side-effects including
cardiovascular and kidney damage, as well as stomach bleeds. Chances are if you don't need to use NSAIDs everyday to alleviate PMR, then it's a very mild case or something entirely diffedent. There are no good answers to PMR - the biologic drugs may eventually be thing that works the best and are the safest. Certainly @dadcue experience with Actemera has been encouraging to read about.
