I am relatively new to PMR started prednisone 15 MG in April. Tapered down to 12.5 in May the 10 in Mid May. Flare ups started so Dr put me back on 15 mg all July. I was supposed to drop to 12.5 and start methotrexate at the beginning of August however I found myself doing better since starting 1950 MG of turmeric caps over the past 10 days. Today I realized tha I halved a 1mg tab and not a 5, so I inadvertently got myself down to 10.5 of what should’ve been week 2 of 12.5 prednisone. I never took the methotrexate Waiting to see if the turmeric would work. Apparently it has because in spite of advancing to a lower dose of prednisone, I woke up this morning without pain or stiffness so let’s see where this goes. I do have the need to take a midday nap. My best time of the day is between 3 pm and midnight. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep until 2 am. I wake up early, take my pred and turmeric w yogurt and go back to bed. Have breakfast around 11 am (eggs with turmeric and avocado) then the nap around 12:30 or 1pm. I’m lucky I’m retired.
