Suddenly much better

I am approaching the 3rd anniversary of this blasted disorder, and have successfully tapered to 1.5 mg prednisone daily. But PMR has been ever present until one week ago. When I took my daily walk through the woods, I noticed pretty quickly that it no longer felt like my thighs were bound by an elastic cord, and my step felt much lighter--walking had become the joy that it always had been before PMR. My balance is back. My shoulders don't hurt. I can tell that the PMR hasn't quit, but for the present it has loosened its grip.
It took me two days to realize what had changed in my life, and perhaps why my PMR had lessened. I had pulled out my old cheap vibration plate to help with lower back pain (which is does). I used the plate for several days. PMR stayed calm; life looked suddenly much better.
There is no research on PMR and vibration, but if you ask one of the chatbots, as I did, you may find that WBV ("whole body vibration") can lessen inflammation, among other benefits. So it makes sense. I'll report later on whether or not my good fortune keeps up. Meanwhile, it's 15 minutes a day on the vibration plate.
