I have Polymyositis and it is a autoimmune Disease - Polymyalgia is also an inflammatory Disease. Please educate yourself on both of these illnesses as without the proper DX. you can not be treated properly. I cannot stress this enough . I had a muscle Bio. to find out for sure what I really did have,but some Dr.s like to play the guessing game and time is not on our side. If I can help in anyway Please e-mail me personally and I will do my best to help you. I am so sorry your husband may have this but, again without futher testing a Dr. cannot be sure what it is exactly what he has - research all that you can find and ask questions, print out information and discuss it with your Dr. before you except just a " well, we think this is ? " say no- I want tests taken and I want to make sure he is being treated for exactly what he really does have as many of the inflammatory D. and autoimmue are so close with the same syntems that we as patients have to be educated before we just go ahead and take the word purely on an exam and not through tests results- My Best to you and your husband.
