Good Morning.

     I have been taking Serrapeptase for 8 days and cannot tell you of any exciting changes yet.  I am working like I normally do, 5 days a week and still have the same pain in my foot.  I massage it every morning before I go to work but it is very painful to walk and I do not get any relief.  By the end of the day, I am in great pain and really look forward to going home and putting my feet up.  Raising my foot, does not relieve the pain but at least there is no pressure creating additional pain.  

     I have PMR (Polymyalgia rheumatica) which is a very painful inflammatory disease characterized by pain and stiffness in the muscles in and around the neck, shoulders and hips.  The inflammation that characterizes PMR is the result of white blood cells attacking the synovium (lining of the joints). The most commonly prescribed medications for PMR are corticosteroids (Predisone).  Unfortunately, steroids are not a medicine that anyone wants to take for very long.  There are some very ugly side effects and damage to the body.  

     Serrapeptase has indicated that it could have some positive improvements in inflammation in the body.  I will track any changes in the PMR but for now, lets follow the changes in my foot.
