I started an anti-inflammatory diet as soon as I was diagnosed --it's not all that different from my usual diet, which is close to the Mediterranean diet that's popular now, except to cut out red meat as much as possible and other foods on the high inflammatory list, and a lot more fruit and vegetables. They even suggest this on the Kevzara website. Whether or not it helps, it can't hurt to try to keep down inflammation and at the very least in that way support the drug regime.

Yes, I think to eat foods that are less inflammatory like fruits and vegetables, low sugar and less red meat is helpful.

PMR is a very interesting disease process. Too bad I had to find out about it by having it.

It has been an experience that I hope I don’t have again once this episode is over with!

I’m with you there. As much as I am not liking oatmeal! 🙂
