PMR Cured?

[Whytee]

After 9 years and 11 months I have finally weaned myself off Prednisone. I started at 20mg per day for PMR and used the slow reduction method to reduce the dose. For some years I could not drop below 3.5mg and thought I would be on Pred forever. Nothing worked until I changed my diet by cutting out sugar and eating very few carbs. I am no medical practitioner and the results may be coincidental, but I will stick to the diet just in case. I will be 72 tomorrow and will have a dual celebration. Best wishes to those who are still battling with this condition.

Happy birthday! Hope this special birthday present lasts a long time!!! But at the very least, you know you need a very low dose if it is still lurking.

Happy Birthday 💐Fantastic news about your PMR.

Instead of Birthday Cake you could have strawberries and cream with a few nuts on top: always a very nice pudding 🤗...stick a candle in a strawberry.
