PubMed had a small studied that was done on people who were taking steroids and had a flare up. The only difference in their bloodwork was a high level of IL6 in the blood of people who flared. (A cytokine) That is why I take MSM which is a GRAS (generally regarded as safe) which is a suppliment for arteritis. It has been shown to down-regulate IL6. Worth a try. I've used it for years for lameness in horses and dogs with good results.

My PMR started 3 months ago . I immediately started eating 0 carb. I eat meat and eggs and butter. 2 months ago I decided to have a cheat day and had 3 slices of sourdough bread. Next day they pain was unbelievable!! It lasted 2 days and then went back to the pain I have now....
I'm hoping to beat this by eating this anti-inflammatory diet. My inflammation level is 11... a little more and will be a normal level. But I hear sometimes the pain remains until it decides to go....
