You are fortunate to be diagnosed. My PCP and I are guessing that I have PMR until I can see a Rheumatologist in February.

I also have good and bad days and I'm sure it's diet and sleep related.

Try eliminating as much inflammatory foods and drinks as you can. I've added Turmeric with black pepper and green tea to a pretty clean diet. Don't eat any processed foods, alcohol, white flour, or sugar - the list goes on. Google anything you're thinking of eating.

Craving something sweet? Have some dates or red grapes. I've researched a lot- information is abundant on line.

My inflammation (and pain) has subsided - Prednisone helps too!

It's been 2 months since this malady struck. Looking forward to its departure!

Good luck and try to stay positive.
