Hello, I had a serious sinus infection that lasted an entire year. Finally in July 2019 I had surgery and much better now. Funny thing is that I tested negative for all allergies and they couldn’t understand where it came from. Hindsight, I think it was attributed to my failing autoimmune system. Last week, my blood work finally showed elevation in C reactive and my RA finally feel better about diagnosis of PMR. I opted to take 800mg of ibuprofen instead of steroids. Now, granted, it doesn’t get rid of my pain as well as the steroids but my mobility has been great! I can take up to 2400mg /day but I take less. I’m able to workout and so all sorts of physical activities which is great!
