An update on LDN. I am now at 7.5mg prednisone and still 4.5mg LDN. I have no pain or stiffness in the AM. I was diagnosed in December and started 20mg prednisone then. On a Facebook group for LDN I asked if anyone else had replaced prednisone with LDN and got this encouraging response:
"I did that about 5 years ago. It worked. In less than a month I was off prednisone and pain free on 4.5mg.if I remember correctly I was on about 8mg prednisone when I started. I had been on prednisone for a year."
More later.

I belong to a Facebook group about LDN. Mentions of PMR are plentiful in that group, although PMR is not among the leading diseases addressed there. I have compiled a spectrum of stories about LDN use for PMR, which you can see on my Google drive: https://tinyurl.com/2q8ebstu.
