[QUOTE="MargaretR, post: 1578480, member: 157443"] Hello Smurph Polymyalgia symptoms are aches, pains and stiffness in muscles of the arms, legs, shoulders. When I started I thought it was the joints, but the Dr who diagnosed me moved my limbs about a lot, and I realised it was muscles, not joints. One key thing is that it is both sides, so if the right leg is hurting, so is the right. I was also very tired, and felt as if I had flu. It’s one of the autoimmune ones, and generally doesn’t occur before 50, but I have heard of a number of people who have started with it at a younger age. You say your dr mentioned fibromyalgia. That’s another similar one, and ties in with what I said about talking from our own experience! I haven’t got that, so it wasn’t one I immediately thought of. The rheumatologist will have experience of all the ones with similar symptoms. [/QUOTE]
