Hi,
Thank you for your response, and the article.
Right now I’m on 5mg of Pred, and 60mg of Cymbalta. Im trying to keep moving, but some days are harder than others. And, I’ve been dealing with this for almost 7 years, so it’s taken a toll on my entire life.
My PCP has been great, but admits that this is not her forte. She listens, and runs tests as needed. She will up my Pred if my bloodwork is elevated, and I get to the really uncomfortable point.

Have you noticed any foods that might trigger or make your symptoms a little worse? My second occurrence with PMR went much better than the first time with PMR because I started making some lifestyle changes to prevent gaining more weight from the prednisone. I was surprised that it also helped me taper off of prednisone quicker. I'm not sure if this will be helpful but it might be worth a try if you aren't already doing it. I think it also helps with many autoimmune conditions.
