-It would likely be much weaker than prednisone
-It is unlikely to control PMR flare symptoms on its own
-It should not replace prescribed therapy .
However -
stigmasterol has shown:
Anti-inflammatory effects
Possible immune-modulating properties
Antioxidant activity
Potential cartilage-protective effects
---- u can do this after consulting with your physician
-Low-dose methotrexate
Slow prednisone taper
Omega-3s
Mediterranean-style diet
