Hi you and I are on a very similar time schedule. I had my last prednisone 1 mg last Saturday. my rheumatologist does not believe in medication unless the pain is intolerable. my next appointment with her is February. if I’m not in too much pain I would rather not be on medication either because most of it is not the greatest for your body..
I am just going to take one day at a time and see what happens. each of us reacts so differently to PMR it’s amazing. i’m so glad that you were doing so well what exactly are you doing that is complementary .I would like to try anything I could to help me with the pain that I have which isn’t horrible but it isn’t great either. I am 78 years old and try to do some exercise but a lot of it is very hard to do for me so I do the best I can do. my very best wishes to you!!!

I do supplements including Turmeric, fish oils, magnesium and B vitamins. There are more but those are sone of the main ones. I am also getting b-12 shots. My level was very low normal at the start and I could feel the difference in the pain in my arms immediately. I do HBOT several times a week. I happen to own one, which we purchased a number of years ago to help with a daughter’s issues. They are expensive. Depending on where you live, you can probably find a place you can purchase a package. It is not the medical grade but I think 98%. I also have a pemf mat that has some coils that came with it that I initially wrapped around my arms. Now I am just using the top and bottom mats. I take epson salt baths. I literally had to drag myself out of the tub at first, with extreme difficulty but can do it normally now. And I have used coffee enemas for the anti inflammatory benefit of the glutathione it creates. My pcp gave me some glutathione oral spray but it left a horrible taste in my mouth. Early on, I also used a sound beam machine. I plan on continuing all of these, except the sound beam, just not as frequently. Last pill was today. Best wishes to you.
