Suggest Treatment For TMJ, Temporal Arthritis And Fibromyalgia Rheumatica
I am a healthy 84 year old woman with a couple of nagging problems. I was diagnosed with TMJ, after 40 yrs. of pain, Temporal Arteritis, and Fibromalgia Rheumatica, I moved from IN to FLA five years ago, and am not satisified with my current health medical team. They seem to dismiss my problems by suggesting I use drugs to deal with them. I am very much into holistic health. I am willing to join research projects. What advise do you have for me?

Corticosteroids are the mainstay of therapy for temporal arteritis and fibromyalgia rheumatica. Typically, the response is dramatic, with symptoms improving within 48 to 72 hours after treatment is initiated.
