Do any of you take vitamins and/or herbal supplements?

Have they decreased your pain & stiffness at all? What about interactions with prednisone?

Thanks for your input.

Yes, as well as prescribed vit a+calcium, I take vit c, vit b and fish oil.

I havent noticed any appreciable difference one way or the other because I havent not taken it, if you see what I mean. So I cant really say that it has been effective.

All I can say is the vita+cal. is prescribed as a defence against bone loss whilst on prednisone (or prednisolone as it's calleld in the UK) and is proven medically.

Recent advice I read was ,not an excess of supplements ,but balanced diet ,and at least 20 mins of daylight on face and arms .s
