polymyalgia rheumatica

[Guest guest]

Spoke to a man who has finally been diagnosed with polymyalgia

rheumatica after several years of tests, mis-diagnoses and large doses

of unhelpful drugs. He's now on large doses of steroids which help the

pain but are not doing much for him otherwise.

 

does anyone have anything to suggest for him? Would bodywork help (my

instinct says yes but I don't know about this condition).

 

this fellow is a senior professional who has been working with victims

of disasters and human rights abuses for many years. he recognises that

this might well have something to do with his current condition (stress

has to go somewhere...!).

 

Thoughts would be much appreciated.

 

thanks
