Please consider using MSM daily to help prevent relapses. Also helps with some pain. No side effects, look it up..

As reported, LDN did not replace the diminished prednisone, and thus a flare occurred. However, I have raised my LDN dose to 7mg, taken just before bed. This has had several good results. The peripheral neuropathy is gone (but I also upped the B-12, so maybe that was it), and I have now had two nights with no allergy. Since titrating up to 7 I have slept like a log and have not been troubled by weird dreams. I think I have yet to find the LDN "sweet spot" and still have hopes for action against PMR, although that hasn't happened yet.
