@wendypics Hi. It sounds (reads) like you’re doing everything right. Yes, it’s a journey. Several of us refer to it as such.

Relief starting at 10mg of Prednisone per day is really good, for any body weight.

While I’ve not experienced Reiki in a professional setting, I more than appreciate good massage therapy. Both machine and of course human.

I view food as ammunition and my diet is strictly based on what is good for me. Taste has little relevance. Results are the reward. My wife keeps asking me if I like those foods. I just grin and reply that I do now.

I drink a lot of water everyday. Stay hydrated and flush toxins.

I’m a big believer in cardiovascular, in combination with the diet and supplements. My thinking is that the more times per day that I can get those nutrients and oxygen to each and every cell in my body, while also rapidly removing waste and toxins from each cell, the healthier I am and the sooner this journey will be over. There are other journeys that I’d like to do, like my Bucketlist.

Because Prednisine can cause bone loss, I’ve added a more focused regimen of resistance exercise which immediately follows my cardiovascular, which I forgot to mention immediately follows a cycle of long intense stretching.
Muscles and joints.

Equally important as everything else, is sleep. Good sound sleep. 8-9 hours, every 24 hours. 7-8 is better than nothing, but sleep is crucial. It is when our bodies repair and heal.

You probably know all this, but I thought I’d throw it out there.
Thanks for your post. Please keep us informed and keep sharing your journey. I want the best for you and wish you the best.
