Does Anyone Else Suffer From Polymyalgia Rheumatica In Addition To Fibro?
P.R. is a syndrome with pain or stiffness. Usually in the neck, shoulders, upper arms and hips, but may occur all over the body. The pain can be very sudden or can occur gradually over time. Most people with P.M.R. :wake up in the morning with pain in their muscles: however cases have occurred in which the person has developed pain during the evenings or has pain and stiffness all day. People who have P.R. may also have temporal arteritis, an inflammation of blood vessels in the face which can cause blindness if not treated quickly. The pain and stiffness can result in a lowered quality of life and can lead to depression.
This is what I found online. Sounds pretty vague, doesn't it?

It's an autoimmune disease with symptoms a lot like fibro.The big difference is that the inflammation it causes in the body shows up in blood work.The steroid Prednisone is the treatment to try to put it in remission.I however have not responded to this.
I'm not familiar with that disease either, but I do have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis along with the Fibro and a couple of other chronic diseases. Living with these diseases is just a matter of being able to cope with them all and learning different methods of dealing with the aches, pain, fatigue, depression, and all the other stuff that goes along with it... I am going to a therapist to help me deal with the pain,depression, and other stuff. She has given me methods of coping with the pain and depression, you never get over it but your learn to deal with it. I have been with her since May 2015 and I highly recommend it. She has been a God send for me...gentle hugs and I hope you find something to help you..
