How is RLS diagnosed?
However, constant pain whether severe or not is *not* RLS and should be investigated by a physician as soon as possible to screen for for fibromyalgia,
myopathy
and other conditions which have nothing to do with RLS/PLMD.

Hello and Pred dose increase?
Could it be steroid
myopathy
and if so what does one do about it? I’m due to see my rheumatologist again in a couple of weeks but would welcome your wisdom. Appreciate any advice from you experts out there. Thank you.

Bursitis, Steroid induced
Myopathy
, Neuropathy and a weakened heart valve. This on top of GCA and PMR with all their wonderful symptom so wonder we become somewhat self centred and slightly obsessed with our condition. Three years into this journey I am hopefully on the way out.

Endocrinologist wants me to taper faster
She said it was steroid
myopathy
. Although she said steroid
myopathy
doesn't normally produce pain, it can because it damages muscle fibers, and then activity can cause aches and tenderness.

How to join Myositis UK
Hi, I have been suffering from statin induced necrotising
myopathy
for over 3 years. During this time I have tried to join the Myositis UK charity by sending the form on their web site, and by calling the number on their web site but I never get a response and the phone is never answered.

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.

I have chronic pain (unrelated to pmr) and soreness and stiffness related to steroid
myopathy
and my stupid sprained ankle that isn’t healing. If my doctor is unconcerned, then I shouldn’t be either, right? Thoughts?

Hypothyroid / sleep apnea
I think its possible there is a link between the
myopathy
and OSA sleep apnoea as its related to muscles around the throat but again its a just theory.

Update:Just Beginning
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

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

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.

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
