Hi - I was wondering if anyone with PMR here also has
Fibromyalgia. I've had Fibro for 35 years and PMR for one. (I'm
52) The Fibro hadn't been giving me problems - had it pretty much under
control till the PMR. I've gone from 20 mg. of Prednisone to 3 -
tried 2 but couldn't function. I'm still in a lot of pain but
can't tell if it's Fibro or PMR.
Another question - I keep reading how people are gaining weight from
the Pred. but I've done the opposite. I'm a very small person and
a good weight for me is 100-105 lbs. - I'm down to 85 and I can't
gain! I found that I had food sensitivities - wheat, dairy - a
few years ago and lost weight when those were cut out, but in Dec. when
I tried to go down on my Pred., I lost 10 lbs. Is anyone else
having that problem?
Ok - one last thing. Has anyone tried anything naturally or found
that the food sensitivities are responsible for this condition? I
know that the meds are necessary for a while but I tend to try and get
to the root of a problem instead of taking care of only the symptoms.
Sorry I have so many questions, but I feel so alone and reading these posts have helped!
Thanks - Artysn
