Eileen, do you top up a bit on prednisone either before or after a Bowen treatment?

Just ensure you drink at least a litre of water after Bowen and try to do so every day.

I knew about the importance of water from previous treatments. And also the imprtance of getting up and moving every 30 minutes on the day of treatment.
There has been a fair bit of discussion recently about increasing when the body is under stress from travel, treatments, increased activity, etc. But also cautions about avoiding yoyoing. Sometimes a 'body' just doesn't know what to do.

Take a look at the posting on this site 'Living with PMR & GCA'.
Written by a couple of patients (work it out) for patients.
You might be interested.
Good Luck and there is 'Light at the end of the Tunnel' We just don't know how long that d**n tunnel is.

Boy, I sure wish I could hop across the pond and visit you. I'd buy all sorts of stuff! Booklets, pansy pins, handmade cards and jewelry. And I might get to meet and have a cuppa with you and others. One can always dream.

Google Joanne Hewitt Bowen therapy and you should get my (and lodger's) lady's site where she explains it. She is in the NE of England so no use to you but the explanation is good. Or you could look for Mitchell Mosher American podiatrist Bowen therapy video - one person (US I think) thought it looked a load of hooey which I found strange since he was happy to go for extended sessions of acupuncture which hasn't been found to do a great deal in PMR although it may reduce pain a bit. Bowen definitely can make a difference - plenty of us can attest to that! You will know within 3 sessions at the most if it is going to help. Since PMR is a chronic condition you may need follow-up session every 6 months or so - or you may not.
