At the risk of everyone thinking I'm a nutter, I have to share this with you all. I was diagnosed in November 21 and am now tapering down to 3 mg of prednisone. Apart from losing hair and general fatigue, the pain and morning stiffness have become more tolerable with each decrease of prednisone. Two months ago, my friend and I saw the ads for Keto gummies that have been promoted for weight loss. We said, "Okay, we're suckers, let's give it a go." We ordered them from Amazon, and they are "Simpli ACV+KETO Gummies", and cost around $24 for a month's supply to be taken twice a day. I looked at the ingredients which are primarily Apple Cider Vinegar and Beet Root Juice, B6 and B12, so with lots of skepticism I started them. I began to lose weight, but the real plus is, I felt so much better with more energy and less stiffness. I took them to my rheumatologist to check them out, and although he noted that they do contain glucose, he said there was nothing in them that could be harmful. He said that the medical profession has no idea why some things work for some patients but not others, especially when it came to homeopathic remedies. So, with his approval, I have ordered more, and honestly do feel better. I read no claims that these gummies would help PMR, so it wasn't as if I was expecting it. I just thought it would be nice to lose some weight. I make no claims, but for the cost of a vitamin and no harmful ingredients, why not? No, I haven't been paid for this endorsement, but having experienced the pain of PMR, I'm happy to pass this on!

1st, I'm sorry you have PMR. My question is about Keto-Acv gummies. I lost a leg 3+ years ago. A lifelong athlete, being bedridden due to severe joint degeneration I've been bedridden about a year, the result of that is a 70+ lb. gain. Do they work for real weightloss? I'm also excited about them making you feel better and look forward to that also. Thanks for your answer if possible. Sara
