Thanks so much for your response. I had a fairly healthy diet to begin with as I tend to follow the O blood type diet for the most part. I i’ve been ordering grass fed meat from Trifecta which has been helpful. I eat very little sugar, very little dairy, no wheat, no alcohol currently and only two or three drinks a week prior to PMR. I’ve exercised at least six times a week for at least 40 years. I have a fair amount of allergies also so there’s a lot of different things there that I don’t eat. I was really surprised when I came down with this. I guess I’m primarily worried about my change in bone density as I choose not to take any of the meds like Fosamax or prolia. I take a lot of supplements but I have a family history of osteoporosis. I have a wonderful naturopath who has helped me tremendously. I am a behavioral psychologist so I do keep a lot of data also. It sounds like you’ve got things figured out pretty well for yourself. How long have you had PMR?

@elt My PMR is in remission but my first flare up was in 2007, lasted 3-1/2 years then went into remission until 2016 and lasted 1-1/2 years. My second time around I started eating healthier and cut out processed foods and cut way down on the sugar along with more exercise. I'm hoping it stays in remission 🙂.
