Thank you John. I don’t have gout but like the rest of us do have the PMR, going on 1.5 years. An understanding the pathways and efficacy of this drug fir the PMR is what I seek. Does it root out the underlying inflammation triggers? If so how, and when stopped donPMR symptoms return? I’ll ask my Rheumatologist next time we speak. She has mentioned using a biologic to help me get off the P more swiftly. I can’t recall the name right now.

I am in remission after 4 or 5 attempts over 5 years to get off prednisone . I started a drug the needs to be compounded into 4.5 meg it's called LDN (Low dose naltrexone) it's a game changer for me. Doesn't work for everyone but my doctor and his wife who is a naturopath suggested it two years ago August and I have not had a flareup. I still don't know where the PMR came from all I know almost sent me to a nursing home i'm 68 years old and live in Hawaii.
