    In addition to my SS I also have a painful disease called Polymyalgia Rheumatica. It causes high inflammation which then causes pain. So the treatment is prednisone. A lot of people use ginger and turmeric to help with their inflammation. I tried turmeric but it upset my stomach. This is not an uncommon side effect so take that into consideration. I did not try ginger for other reasons. There are also Inflammation diets that help some people. I'm sure if you google it you will find one. The main culprits are the carbs which includes my favorite thing, anything that's sweet! LOL!
