PMR: Are there treatment alternatives to Prednisone?

Hi kathyjb, I have PMR and I’m not on prednisone, same as you I don’t want the side effects, my opinion they are serious. I want to try LDN but my GP can’t prescribe it on nhs, probably a private doctor would, meanwhile he has given me nefopam, not started it yet but will give it a try, it does not read as safe as LDN - Low Dose Naltrexone, this is not the same as Naltrexone higher dose.

My GP got mine ordered at the compound pharmacy right away. My rheumatologist refused. I think you can also go online and find real Docs who will prescribe it for you.
Best of luck to you. If you really find a pull toward LDN - find it. Or I will help you find it. I’ll tell you if it works. 🤗

I got my GP to order the LDN today from a local compound pharmacy. I’ll get it next week some time. I’ll let you know how it works, if you would like. Stay in touch.
