inflammatory conditions
"I am male, 57 years old.  I went from being very fit and active to zero activity within a week due to acute pain symmetrically in all joints.  I endured this for two months, and was finally diagnosed with PMR Disease.  Started on Prednisone, 20 mgs per day and obtained immediate results, eliminating 85% of any discomfort.  Dose doubled after two weeks, now all pain has been eliminated and now on the direction of my Rheumatologist I am starting to wean myself off after being on it for one month.  I am back in the gym, no issues.  So far so good, and so far zero side effects."
