Weight loss with PMR

I was diagnosed with PMR this past March. Just tapered down to 10mg prednisone today,from starting at 20mg in April. My inflammatory markers were sky high but went back down to normal in May. Question: Has anyone else tried any supplements that reduce inflammation? I've been taking 1000mg of amla every day and I'm in no pain and can work and do whatever I want ( with the exception of the brain fog and depression) I'm hoping that I can get on the prednisone exit ramp sooner if I am taking this. My doctor isn't thrilled but didn't discourage it either. I just don't like any of the options they are offering me. I see the rheumatologist next week.

@mp71 I use turmeric (curcumin) ginger and black pepper to tamp down inflammation.
