@elainepoc . Thanks... I ran out of curcumin but it's on my list. I read that combining anti-inflammatories will have a greater effect. One site mentioned quercetin along with the others. I'm just wondering if I can reduce the prednisone,or shorten the taper. I wish Medicare covered holistic doctors. My doctor wants me on a 1 mg a month taper down...that's gonna be a while .
