Question by slicktop80: Anyone have polymylagia, or know someone who does?
I was just diagnosed with polymylagia rheumatica today, and was curious if anyone here has had it or dealt with it in some way. The Dr explained it as a rheumatoid / autoimmune disease that best responds to steroid treatment. I am a diabetic (in good health / control), and have been a very physically active person until now. I’m a cop and a volunteer FF/Medic, who now cannot do my job because of the pain level. I have very intense pain in my neck and shoulders on movement, and a dramatically reduced range of motion in my arms. This obviously prevents me from working as an officer, or making any type of response with the Fire Department. I can barely type now. I was fine, completely asymptomatic 72 hrs ago, and this is completely atraumatic in nature. I don’t want to try steroid therapy right off because I don’t want to screw my blood sugar up. I’ll do what the Doc says,but anyone’s comments based on practical experience or additional knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
