flare or steroid myopathy?
since the holidays I’ve been so stiff and sore all over I can barely move—in my shoulders, arms and thighs, not core. I mean the least little thing that I was able to do became almost impossible. For what it’s worth, I sprained my ankle in august, 3 doctors later, it’s not healing, so I’ve gone from

My diagnosis is GCA and steroid induced
myopathy
. I am currently on 20 mg Prednisolone and tapering down in another two weeks. The physio has added a probable diagnosis of Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness that is accompanying my other diagnoses.

Case report: Rhabdomyolysis and kidney injury in a statin-treated hypothyroid patient-kill two birds with one stone
This case highlights the fact that hypothyroidism must be kept in mind as a potential cause of concomitant
myopathy
and kidney injury, especially in patients with statin-resistant hypercholesterolemia.[/i] https://europepmc.org/article/MED/36438056

Taper Advice after too fast a taper
Diagnosis of reversible Steroid
Myopathy
. Still weak but able to walk independently now. Since August I have been able to steadily improve my walking stamina back to pre- Steroid levels but with some tendency to fatigue in my quad muscles.

What myopathy is this?
Hi all, I have had extensive blood work done, had MRIs and ECGs. The only thing apparently showing up is low vitamin D levels. My symptoms are loss of muscle and weakness in my quadriceps , hips, neck and joints of arms. I will be seeing a specialist soon but sometimes these communities have more

Leg ache/pain from PMR or Pred?
So I'm wondering whether my PMR is under control but the symptoms I'm experiencing are down to the longer term effects of the Pred having caused some
myopathy
, or just weakening of muscles, ligaments & tendons.

Upping My Niacin to 1000 mg
Treat mitochondrial
myopathy
. Boost Mitochondrial Biogenesis. Restore the BBB integrity. This is pretty cool. I had not seen anything capable of maybe fixing the blood brain barrier. These all look like good things to me.

Strange flare ups?
After seeing neurologists at a large research hospital for 10 years, DNA tests, muscle biopsies, I was finally diagnosed with a vacuolar
myopathy
similar to Miyoshi
myopathy
. Most of the time I'm just tired, no energy. But now I'm having episodes of extreme itching on both arms--no rash.

Weak wobbly legs update number 2
Steroid induced
myopathy
- as I’ve been on steroids since 2013. I’m going to read up but has anyone here suffered with this or has any links for me to read. GP said she was going to refer me back to rheumatology and also start a slow reduction of pred.

When a 5mg increase doesn't get on top of a relapse
Must say I am so upset - I have had PMR for 6 years in October and this has given me steroid
myopathy
which I have had for the last 2.5 years which has impacted on my mobility :-( Thanks

Taking statins does not commonly cause muscle pain, researchers say
From which I take these two quotes: [i]It is known that statins can, rarely, cause substantial muscle damage (ie,
myopathy
[approximately one extra case per 10 000 person-years]; or, in a more severe form, rhabdomyolysis [approximately 2–3 cases per 100 000 person-years]) as indicated by muscle symptoms
