I was diagnosed in January with PMR but had extremely low c r p values and we weren't convinced that it was PMR. Over the following months turned out it was and that 10% of the people who have PMR have high CRV values. I've never taken medication, I'm 72 and was in excellent health when this happened. After much research oh, I decided to pursue the Paleo diet approach, which is almost the same exact thing as the Terry Wahls diet. Terry Wahls, who recovered from aggressive MS with her approach, recommends giving it a hundred days. I'm on day 27 today. I can monitor it enough to be tolerable with Advil twice a day, but it can be painful and definitely not normal. So far, no improvement and one day I decided to take no Advil the next morning was so painful that I considered prednisone right then . I take one Advil when I go to bed with some coconut milk and another 425 hours later in the middle of the night. I'm taking a big gamble to see if this works so that I don't have to take prednisone.
