Polymyalgia - any experiences?

[Sue]

It never rains etc etc.

I've just been put on steroids for what is almost certainly polymyalgia (If they get rid of the pain, it is), and I'm wondering if anybody has any experience of this they would be happy to share with me, either on here or via PM?

I've done a lot of googling and I'm quite concerned about the potential side effects of the steroids :( however I couldn't continue as I was as the pain was preventing me doing things, so steroids were basically the lesser of two evils :(

I was already taking turmeric capsules when I went down with it :(

Ouch sorry to hear it. My mum has suffered with it. The good thing is, once it got under under control the steroids were phased out. Occasionally, flare ups happen and meds are needed again. It?s like all things, it needs treatment and the treatment has effects, but those effects beat being in agony.
