<p>I really would like to hear from others. My husband has polymyalgia Rheumatica and because he is also diabetic and currently on at-home, overnight peritoneal dialysis, his doctors (in the Oshkosh WI area) took him off Prednisone. He is now experiencing a flare-up and in quite a bit of discomfort but the Prednisone will wreak havoc with his glucose levels, especially now that he's getting the dextrose solution (2.5%) at night for the dialysis. Does anyone out there, doctor or patient, know of anything else besides Prednisone that helps the symptoms of poly-rheum? The only other options suggested were Percocet and Hydrocodone, which have the aceteminophen in them that harms the liver - not to mention he gets really loopy when taking those drugs. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!</p>
