Hi @jds2123, Welcome to Connect. While I'm sorry to hear you have joined the PMR club, I'm hoping you can learn from what others have shared so that your journey with PMR will be much easier. I've had PMR flare up twice before but it's been in remission now for almost six years and I'm hoping it stays there. I've only had prednisone to treat PMR so I won't be much help. You are not alone seeking alternative treatments so I'm hoping others like @chris1466, @nyxygirl, @mikeshell, @tillysam and others can share what has helped them.

Keeping a daily log helped me through my PMR flare ups. Do you keep a daily log with your the amount of pain you have when you wake up and the dosage you are taking for the day?
