Are There Any Natural Ways Of Treating Polymyalgia Rheumatic A?
I have polymyaglia rheumatica and have gradually reduced the steroids (prendnisolone) incrementally from 25mg down to 3 over a period of about 15 weeks. Sometime ago i had neutrophilic vasculitis on both hands and was also treated with larger doses of prendnisolone which made a dramatic improvement. I understand that polymyaglia is associated with N V. Pain has returned since the reduction of the dose. Walking is very painful but I can cycle well. I would like not to have to increase the dose again and I am wondering are there any natural cures or other ways of treating it. I am 68. Regards - Paul Hardy

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
This is an immune related disorder. Increasing the natural immunity, increasing joint mobility and strengthening the muscles with regular exercise and yoga will help in early relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
