PMR Diet: Foods to eat and avoid
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Nov 11, 2023 | Replies (98)Comment receiving replies
I've posted to this thread before, but I happen to be a registered dietitian who eats a whole foods organic Pegan diet (Paleo + vegan). I had a very mild case of PMR following my second COVID vaccination and because I had no inflammatory markers, it took over 4 months to diagnose. I hurt in my arms and thighs while in bed. As soon as I would get up, my pain went away! I started with 10 mg. of Prednisone and it took over a year to wean off of it. Then I came down with COVID and it triggered my PMR again, so I went back on 2 mg. and tapered off in about 6 months. Now I'm hoping it doesn't come back, but who knows.

Glad for your success!
I am in a big dilemma with diet. I have all along been having no fat yogurt and a slice of low fat, low sodium cheese for lunch. Lately a half sandwich with the cheese, oatnut bread, lettuce and herbs. Yogurt and the cheese are for my calcium intake. I have oatmilk at breakfast. So is this dairy inflammatory or anti-inflammatory? I have eliminated almonds and almond milk because of a probable kidney stone episode earlier this year. Eating walnuts instead. I have borderline osteoporosis, my dad had kidney stones three times so I need calcium from diet. I take vitamin D3 at breakfast and dinner.
And what's with tomatoes? Anti-inflammatory? Nightshades? It seems a toss up. I'm eating cherry tomatoes because we're growing them.
