@kjoed53 I am also on a low-dose; rheumatologist started me at 8 mg back in January 2026, because I have osteopenia, and even on that low dose I ended up with a bilateral (both sides of the spine) fractured sacrum in May. One of the most painful injuries I have ever had to overcome, it is still healing. I’ve been on a walker ever since. I had to have a sacroplasty, which is using bone cement on the breakage - because I could not put any weight on my right leg.
He is Trying to get me off of the prednisolone, first with methotrexate - seven tablets weekly, which caused no real problems but no help either, and now my second infusion of Kevzara every 2 weeks. I am hoping that works. The side effects I’ve noticed from that injection last week was it made me feel very sick for a couple days, in bed with increased pain. I am praying that both can help me get off the steroids which has had such terrible effects on my bones. I am slowly recovering.
I am also very allergic to drugs. I have a long list of allergies that have built up over the years, one being NSAIDS. I used them for my arthritis pain for many years before my back problems were diagnosed. The end result was severe diarrhea daily, if I took even one ibuprofen. Be careful with all drugs!
If you can control your PMR with diet and natural supplements, I would recommend that. All the best to you all. I am thankful for all of the comments in this community.
