So glad to hear this. 👏Today is my 52nd day with PMR and 20 MG prednisone. 3 weeks ago I started taking LDN @ 2.25 Taking both at the same time just after bf on a full stomach. Now about to finish 1 week of LDN@ 4.5 This dose has helped the ringing in my ears and the headaches and the loopy feeling all become less. Still on 20 gm prednisone. This disease is such a mystery! Pain levels upon waking are all much better approx 0-2 It was my excellent naturalpathic Dr. Who put me on Naltrexone. I still have quite a few side effects from the prednisone. I am going today to ask my Dr if we could pls start tapering down soon. I feel like it's kind of by guess and by golly. Back in the beginning of February My inflammation levels were: Sed rate 77 CRP 4.55 I'm not sure if I have GCA but since I started on the Low dose Naltrexone I have less headaches. In 3 weeks We will be going to Antelope Canyon and I would so like to be able to climb up and down the ladder steps.🙏🏻

Will start tapering down next week. Starting from 20mg to 17.5 mg 1week
17.5 to 15mg 1week
15mg -12.5mg 1 week
12.5mg-10mg 1week
*if at any point pain is to much, resume prior dose.
I find if I am more faithful on autoimmune diet I have less arm pain.
I need to look into ordering the Terry Whal diet/protocol.
I'm really hoping my ringing in the ears will stop too. I'll keep you posted.
