I'm not one of the experts here, but if you took yourself off of steroids, and you are in pain, you might be dealing with adrenal deficiency. That is something you need to look into. How much prednisone (?) were you on when you quit it?

Thank you, I started 20mg of prednisone on 9/29/20 and the last pill was taken 8/15/2021. My doctor approved, guided and checked the CRP and ESR monthly, I am getting better every month, however the pain in my hips does get me down. She thinks this is not part of PMR. Last blood draw CRP less than .4 and ESR 14. I keep hoping for a nutraceutical breakthrough.
