    Hi Connie, it's good to hear that you were able to get off that pesky prednisone!  Are you currently on Plaquenil?  It's not technically an antiflammatory, its a disease modifying antirheumatic drug and it's not bad.  Now if you want to go the natural route, fish oil is wonderful.  It's a purely natural way to combat inflammation in your body.  I would check with the good ol'e rheumatologist first though.  Good luck and best wishes!
