When I read your your history I knew you would do well managing
with PMR. You are doing everything appropriately.Your risk for side effects
from steroids will be minimized with your lifestyle and compliance.
I was fortunate to get diagnosed early as I had a family history of PMR.
My anti-inflammation routine includes D3/K2, turmeric, melatonin, vitamin C,
gluten limitation, pure stevia in place of sugar and low dose statins for mitigating the atherosclerosis with autoimmunity. Stress reduction and meditation important in my day as well. Off steroids for several years after
very slow weaning. You have a great plan.

You have made me feel so much better. I appreciate your comments soooo much.

This malady is entirely baffling. It's been 2 months, and when I occasionally feel almost normal, I get hopeful that it will be short lived.

I sure have learned PATIENCE - that's never been my strong suit.

I'll add K2 and melatonin.

Thank you!

I have had PMR for 30 years off and on and now on. I have not heard about " low dose statins for mitigating the atherosclerosis with autoimmunity". Any references? I have an odd adverse reaction to statins so I am on Praluent.
