That sounds like chelation therapy which is a treatment for heavy metal poisoning. Some believe this treatment has other health benefits as well, but to my knowledge such claims are unproven. For what it's worth, here is a link to a Mayo Clinic article about chelation treatment for heart disease: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/expert-answers/chelation-therapy/faq-20157449
@barbwhitmore, I would be a little suspect of any claims without scientific evidence. Here's some information on the diagnosis and treatment of PMR from Mayo Clinic - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/polymyalgia-rheumatica/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20376545
Have you been started on any treatment like prednisone to help with the PMR inflammation and associated pain?
