Very interesting Chris. Did your rheumatologist prescribe? What side effects of the naldrexone? I’m going to read up on it. Is it an anti depressant or narcotic?

My primary care Dr . Prescribed it .
It’s is made & used in 50 mg tablets as an anti narcotic drug , but they have discovered that 4.5 mg is helping many people with different problems .
At first I was hesitant but I was searching for a way get off prednisone once and for all. I had been nine months prednisone been off for three months and then it would flare up and come back and I did this for five years straight until finally I agreed to try the LDN. I had to start at a 1 mg dose and over 30 days go to 4.5 now I have a pharmacy compounded for me.
In August it will be three years PMR free

I wish you luck. I know how brutal this disease is

It has no side effects.
