Message: <blockquote data-quote="ElenaP" data-source="post: 2596797" data-attributes="member: 67557">How are you feeling now?A type-2 friend of mine has been diagnosed with polymyositis recently.  She had lots of tests during the last two months and is now steroids etc. She was fortunate that her GP actually listened to her.  She was told that polymyositis is rare but, also, that they diagnosed another person at the same hospital.  She was sent to additional tests at a different hospital where she was told that this was caused by her being on statins.She is being told how rare it is,  but I am cynical enough to wonder if it is rare only because not enough people are listened to when they tell GPs of their symptoms.  (Number of GPs in the UK still 'see' patients only by telephone conversation.)</blockquote>
