An anti-inflammatory diet is supposed to help. I regularly have a glass of wine at night and don't notice a difference when I don't. Once you are on prednisone, you're labs will be normal and 15-20% of people have normal labs even before beginning treatment. You were just diagnosed in February...that's a pretty rapid taper. I hope you are reasonably comfortable as you should be before you taper again. If so, you may be one of the fortunate ones who beats the average 5.9 years before remission.
