Anyone have experience with Low Dose Naltrexone instead of prednisone?

Yes, I was hopeful we might consider low dose Naltrexone for PMR and I need to get off prednisone at some point. My rheumatologist indicated it is not covered by most insurances.

Sadly, it is not covered but I would like to find the way to pressure the insurance companies to cover it. It has so many "off label" uses now and the safety at higher doses has already been done. If anyone has any knowledge of the process, please let me know.

Does anyone have experience with hydroxychloroquine? My rheumatologist has had me on it for two months due to the arthritis in my hands which seemed to have been aggravated by PMR. It has helped to decrease the swelling and soreness in my hands.
