I was diagnosed PMR last Fall.   I was so bad I had to fall out of bed and roll just to get up.  Up untill then, I was a dancer, outdoors person.  Hiker, camper, kayak etcc...   I was on prednisone.  My weight ballooned.  I moved on to Celebrex.  My weight continued to go up.   I chose to go off the meds.  I want to lose weight.  However all I want to do is lay on the couch all day because I am in to much pain to do anything.  Walking is the only relief I have.     Does anybody have any recommendations of Natural remedies I can take?     I have been taking Jameson Body Guard but I still need Alieve to go with it.    Now I am not only in pain, but fat and depressed too.

    Hi!  I bet you didn't expect so many replies when you posted this link!!!

    It's the title I think 'Living with PMR' - it's just what we are all doing, and all in our different ways, but with the same difficulties.

    Hope things are progressing for you.

    Regards from Constance

      I thought busymom had perhaps heard of the booklet  'Living with PMR & GCA', then when I read the posts, I realised she did not even know about GCA and was running a high risk.
