I'm back

My PMR is back. It went in to remission May 2019 and it's back and it's not even been a year. And during the 2.5 years I was on prednisone I developed a bad case of osteoporosis and ended up with 10 broken bones in one years time. I've sent my rheumatologist an email but I was hoping for some advice. Like what anti-inflammatory diet do you recommend. And does methotrexate work to lower inflammatory? Is there anything else I can do that I have thought of?

BTW my last inflammatory blood test was just last month and they were

SED 42

CRP 2.6

At that time I wasn't symptomatic.

    It's a great shame that we do not retain the clear- eyed view of nursery and young infant school children. Don't try to pull the wool over their eyes as to what's fair and beware of their contempt and indignation if you try to con them and get caught.

      Maybe that's my problem - I haven't grown up ...

    So sorry to hear this. Have you been checked for secondary causes of osteoporosis other than the steroids? I doubt I can submit the link here so will private message as well.
