@karinaph, I think turmeric helps keep my PMR at bay and helps with inflammation. That said, I would always run a supplement by my doctor or a pharmacist if I was taking other medications just to make sure there aren't any adverse interactions. Here's some information from Mayo Clinic that you may find helpful.

John how much turmeric do you take? I have started my first relapse. I purchased the Dr.Wahls book and have started her diet. I am back on 20 mg. of prednisone. I was on 8mg. Needless to say very disappointed. I had company Christmas and got outside in cold to much. To much stress. I have been taking 1000mg for 6 months of turmeric. Any other suggestions to keep from having another relapse? Thanks, Sue
