Advanced turmeric/prednisolone

Hi Everyone - I'm specifically looking at polymialgia which I've had for about 3 years now. Recently the blood tests came back as normal, but the pain;s still there. The doctor doesn't want to prescribe prednisolone any more, and I'm looking at alternatives. An ad for "advanced turmeric" caught my eye, as being effective in the treatment of autoimmune pain, and I wondered if anyone has any experience of this?

Alternatively, I can order prednisolone from the internet and just take it without doctor's say-so, but this is probably the last resort.

I know this is an old-ish thread and you're probably desperate, but please don't take steroids if you're not under medical supervision. They can be really dangerous. I'd try the turmeric and go back to the doctor to see what they can prescribe for your pain.
