I have been on prednisone for the past 3 months after having been diagnosed with PMR. In order to be spared the long-term side-effects of prednisone, I am supplementing with CBD oil.
Has anyone out there used CBD oil and can share outcomes? THANKS!

Hi Ellen welcome to the club. No I never used CBD just prednisone and added Prolia twice a year, is an injection for osteoporosis or its prevention. Has worked very well and with time I have lowered my prednisone from 55mg to 5 mg and combined with tramadol(Ultracet) and Celebrex. Been using for 4 years now, no side effects except the bone problems. I fractured 3 ribs coughing on the first year so my doc gave me Prolia and worked well. My bone density went from red to green. Hope this helps. Right now I take one 5mg prednisone + one tramadol(ultracet) and if it rains and very humid I take one celebrex because the pain becomes worst with humidity high. This I take in the morning after breakfast. If its a hot day I only take the tramadol and the prednisone.
