PMR, prednisone and Poor Sleep or Insomnia

Yes those are indeed very wise words about iron which I am fully aware of. I have had mild anaemia many times over my life confirmed by testing and nowadays when the clear symptoms arise I lightly treat it with a herbal iron tonic for a week or so. I am used to being responsible for my health and am not based in the US but a country where natural remedies are more commonly used alongside meds.
I replied to you because you joined the anaemia PMR dots for me and thank you for that.

The journey I am on is to connect many of my symptoms to PMR. I have seen doctors in Dallas, TX both at Baylor medical and Univ of TX Southwest (a research and teaching hospital system) as well as consulted with a medical team at Cleveland Clinic. Several of the doctors diagnosed PMR but not a single one of them included any of my symptoms beyond muscle and joint pain as caused by PMR. I think this is tragic since my research has clearly exposed so many of my symptoms, anemia, edema and several others are connected. Connecting the dots is the journey I am currently on. I have asked Dr Goggle about things like "PMR Anemia" and have found creditable information - this is the only way I have been able to connect the dots.
