PMR Diet: Foods to eat and avoid
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (116)Comment receiving replies
I know diet has probably been discussed but I’m not sure where to find the discussion. I was just wondering how I could adjust my diet so that my joints and arms wouldn’t hurt so bad. Even though I am on prednisone and aspirin as my regimen, I still have weakness, some minor pain, and low on energy most days. I don’t expect to be pain free at my age. I’ve accepted that.
I also have osteoarthritis, so hard to determine what is PMR and what is osteoarthritis pain and discomfort.
I also Lost my husband seven months ago so wonder how grief plays a part in my Ability to fight PMR,
I’ve been trying to get back into exercising three days a week. I am 74 and walking seems to be my comfortable exercise. So because it’s winter I do walk aerobics on a cd. Also go to stores and walk around.
I guess I’m actually looking for a list of good foods and bad foods for PMR.
Thanks,
Carlotta

Hi @carlotta, I'm sorry to hear that you lost your husband not too long ago. I'm sure that grief can play a big part on your ability to fight PMR. It's good to hear that you are exercising regularly as that also helps with PMR. You will notice that we moved your post to an existing discussion on the same topic here:
