@jmcc, My PMR is in remission now but with my second occurrence of PMR back in 2016 I made some lifestyle changes and started taking tumeric and CoQ10 to help reduce inflammation. I think it enabled me to taper off of the prednisone in less time than my first occurrence of PMR. The first time took 3 and half years to taper off. The second time took a year and half to taper off. I still take tumeric but have switched from CoQ10 to Ubiquinol since it has better bioavailability. Diet and exercise also play a large part in helping the PMR symptoms.

I think it should be noted that people taking medications need to check with a physician, or a medication site, if they plan to add supplements to their daily routine. Some medications and supplements cannot safely be taken together and can even be lethal.
