Pmr and no drugs

Posted by teresag1 @teresag1, 5 days ago

Has anyone managed pmr without drugs? I have severe glaucoma and can’t do prednisone. Recommended Kevzara but I’m afraid of it. Right now my morning pain is not bad and eases up mid morning.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.

Does anyone have info about NOT using prednisone and using ibuprofen, diet exercise, meditation etc instead? I don't want to continue with prednisone... feels like I'm trading one disease for another!!

@wendypics They have anti inflammatory diets you could use for that part. Careful about exercise since it is known to cause inflammation which is what you are trying to eliminate. Exercise needs to be appropriate for you condition. I actually started getting hives after using Tylenol for over two years. I am allergic to all non-steroidal drugs and now I can only use Tylenol in small dose for short amount of time.
