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.

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.

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. 🤗
