Hi John, recently diagnosed w PMR and have begun a more strict following of Mediterranean Diet, without salt, sugar and alcohol. As a wine drinker, I’m wondering if one glass of w dinner will ever be ok? Any thoughts.

Hi Liz @lizward46, I gave up all forms of alcohol but did it because I also have neuropathy. I did find some information on the topic but I think it might depend on a lot of different factors.

"Can I have a glass of wine while taking prednisone?
A person taking prednisone may want to avoid alcohol until they finish the treatment. Alcohol can worsen some side effects of prednisone, such as immune system suppression, bone weakening, and weight gain. It is best to speak with a doctor to avoid serious complications."

Are you still on prednisone or has your PMR gone into remission?
