@missy3134 Have you looked into an anti-inflammatory diet. That did not eliminate my symptoms but I did feel much better once I got on it. I first spent a month eliminating refined floor and then I spent a month eliminating refined sugar I did not try to do them at the same time. I do cheat but it has become less frequent. The months where I was learning to live without I did not cheat, I wanted my body to no longer be so dependent. I went to organic foods about 15 years ago when I became a breast cancer survivor, so I did not have to eliminate fast foods or processed - they were already not a portion of my diet.
It helped with my symptoms but did not replace the need for drugs, just fewer. We are what we eat or supplements/drugs we take.
I wish you well as you learn to peacefully cohabitate with PMR. It certainly is not anything any of us would want for a loved one.
