PMR: Are there treatment alternatives to Prednisone?

I am 4 months into prednisone and one week into LDN. It is too early to tell about the effects. My hope is that LDN will allow me a faster taper off prednisone and then the LDN will maintain me until PMR decides to pack its bags and take off. My prednisone so far has gone from 20mg to 12 1/2 with no problems, but I know most folks slow down drastically after 10mg, and I guess that will be the test for me. I will post whatever results I find. Read about LDN, maybe also CBD (that got rid of my dermatitis). Good luck, Kathy.

A local compounding pharmacy got the order for LDN today. I’ll pick it up next week and begin. Going to not do the Prednisone. I took 400mg of gelcap Ibuprofen last night along with 2mg of Ativan and had much less pain. I hadn’t taken any NSID because they usually bother my stomach. But the gelcaps didn’t. I wasn’t perfect, but I slept much much better and had less pain in the night and today. I took another dose of the Ibuprofen today also.
