Polymyalgia rheumatica

0 Recommendations

Are there any homeopathic or non-steroidal treatments that are helping anyone?
My wife is up to 15 to 20 mg. first thing in the A.M. just to get to the bathroom to get ready for work and then use the 1 mg. as needed during the day. At times she can get it down to 5 mg. but it does not last for long before her blood count goes up again.
Stage 2, the doctor just added Folic Acid 1 mg. daily and Methotrexate 2.5 mg x 6 tablets once a week.
She is already starting to show symptoms of the new meds that she started yesterday.
I would appreciate any advice or just knowing that where I am is what I have to expect. The depression, doesn't help either.
