Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hi, This hit me very suddenly in February with excruciating, almost incapacitating, constant pain. I still work, so every moment is a struggle, including getting sleep at night. This is not a confirmed diagnosis since I cannot get in to see a rheumatologist for a month. The pain is also in my arms and very severe in my wrists and hands. Prednisone for 5 days worked a miracle, but my doctor does not want to keep me on it and I can understand why. I am on ibuprofen 800 mg. 3 times a day. It does not help much. Has anyone any suggestions for alternate healing methods? Mega-Mahalos from Magical Maui!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 My Mom, now 88, had this a few years ago. She got over it to the point where she was finally taken off the prednison. Then she had a few very scary hypo- glycemic episodes, because without the prednison, her diabetes improved and her meds were too strong. The specialist who managed her polymyalgia never informed the family physician who looked after the side effects, such as worsening diabetes. Ain't medicine grand? Ask me off list what we did.
