I hope this helps to resolve your pain. I have posted many times in other threads about my diet and how I think it helped me resolve PMR quickly, with only mild symptoms. I am a registered dietitian and eat an organic, whole foods, primarily plant-based, with a little animal protein. I also take turmeric and omega-3's daily, as well as probiotics for my gut/immune health. Seventy percent of your immunity starts in your gut, so if you feed your microbiome what it likes, e.g., fiber, your microbes help to protect you. Unfortunately, most Americans don't eat enough fiber and the phytonutrients that are often lost with processing food. Good luck to you. Hugs.
