Thanks John. I have had PMR since March 2021 when I was crippled with this disease. Managing OK with prednisone and dietary restrictions. I know well now that when I eat the wrong foods I’ll suffer the next day. Currently on 7 mg after starting on 15. How long have you been in remission?

I've been in remission since mid 2018 from my last occurrence of PMR. The first occurrence was in 2007 and I wasn't able to taper off of prednisone for 3-1/2 years in mid 2010. Then it went into remission until 2016 before it reared it's ugly head again. There is another discussion on tapering you may want to view here:

Like you I found out that watching what I eat helped me a lot with my second round of PMR. I really didn't put 2 and 2 together until I had a few other conditions and started doing more research on what changes I could make to help relieve the symptoms.
