I, too, have had Polymyalgia since last January.Also gained 20 pounds. I have tried to lose those pounds, but without success. My doctor told me not to eat anything white and I would not gain anymore. However I also hve IBS with this and my abdomin is always swollen and bloated. Having IBS and Polymalgia at the same time is not for sissys. My doctor has me on 2mgs of Medrol daily. Does not completely take away all pain , but it is better than gaining any more weight. Happy day.
