Hi Jan @olegraymare, Just checking in with you to see how you are doing with your polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Is your PMR still active? Just wondering if some of the pain has gotten better or if you've found some other tips that help you.

Hoping you are having a pain free day - John

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.
