Reading some past posts this early a.m. and your July post made me smile because of the no sleeping and getting housework done. I get in 4 hours if lucky and get up and cook usually. Trying to eat all organic and non-inflammatory foods per Amy Myers book. I was diagnosed with PMR last July and on prednisone since and tapering down but now scared of my bone health. Does your medications affect your bone density? I also had the worse sinus issues all last winter but the prednisone seemed to clear that up. Hope you’re doing well on tapering down.

Prednisone can affect bone density. You may want to ask your doctor about getting a Dexascan so you'll have a baseline. I take Alendronic acid which has been effective at improving my bone density. I was diagnosed with PMR in 2019 and am currently tapering at 10 mg. prednisone.
