I've been on prednisone for a year now - since last November. I'm down to 5mg which isn't controlling the pain but I supplement with ibuprofen as needed (which is probably destroying my stomach.) I am now researching alternative meds and would like to see if there is a substitute for prednisone. Dr. Andrew Weil recommends Boswellia among other things so bought a bottle of that yesterday. I put on 20 lbs with the prednisone and I just hate looking in the mirror. Also taking various other supplements but nothing seems to help the PMR. My hands, wrists, shoulders are always painful but today the tops of my legs are aching too. As they say - Old Age Ain't For Sissies. Kay
