Hi and a warm welcome. You will find general information on fibromyalgia at our website fmauk.org and our patient information booklets at fmauk.org/publications
Well I would take that as good news really. I have fibro and my mother has Polymyalgia (although I suspect she has fibro too after 3 years of Polymyalgia) and the drugs she has had to be on for Polymyalgia are destroying her bones amongst other things, her knees also seem to have been permanently damaged by Polymyalgia. Its a nasty condition.
