Thank you for your concern. I just had another follow up with my rheumatologist today as a matter of fact! My blood work shows all is well, inflammation levels are normal. I’m down to taking 7 mg a day of prednisone. My rheumatologist wants to put me on bone density type drugs as I already have been diagnosed with having osteoporosis. He’s worried that the steroids will impact me significantly as history shows it’s a “bone killer”. I’ve resisted taking these bisphosphates and take vitamins algaecal that have history had shown to improve results. I walk everyday and lift weights. I’m scheduled for a bone Denistry test this Friday to compare.
Do you have any thoughts or ideas concerning this?? P.s I do not have any pain dealing with pmr.
