[QUOTE="lma89, post: 888810, member: 192696"] Hi there I'm a type 1 diabetic 10 days ago I started with an excruciating pain across both shoulders and my neck, no amount of pain killers would move it so I went to doctors was prescribed a strong antiimflamitory and sent on my way cut a long story short after a visit to a+e on day 9 and being fobbed off with cocodamol which I can't take I went back to the doctors relayed all my symptoms and we read something about polymyalgia rheumatica my symptoms fit although it does say usually over 50s suffer and no amount of painkillers will numb it, only steroid treatment, which has worked thankfully just waiting on blood tests to confirm, the only problem with these steroids is my sugars are now all over the place I'm slowly bringing them back under control but my reason for this post is I'm looking for any other type one sufferers who have polymyalgia or are taking steroids for another reason tips hints or just general conversation please :) [/QUOTE]
