Medical Background: Polymyositis (pol-e-mi-o-SI-tis) is an uncommon disease that causes inflammation in the muscles. Doctors also refer to polymyositis as a type of connective tissue disease. Its most noticeable characteristic is muscle weakness, especially in the muscles closest to the trunk, such as the shoulder and hip muscles. As a result, it may be difficult to get out of chairs, climb stairs, brush the hair or work with the arms raised over the head. Polymyositis is rarely fatal, but it can be disabling in its more severe forms. Although polymyositis can occur at any age, it mostly affects adults in their 40s and 50s. It is more common in blacks than in whites, and women have it more often than men do. Polymyositis usually develops gradually over weeks or months. Periods of remission, during which signs and symptoms improve spontaneously, rarely occur in polymyositis. However, treatment can improve your muscle strength and function. Signs and symptoms of polymyositis usually appear gradually, so it may be difficult to pinpoint when they first started. They may also fluctuate from week to week or month to month. The most common signs and symptoms include: * Progressive muscle weakness, particularly in the muscles closest to the trunk, such as those in your hips, thighs, shoulders, upper arms and neck. This weakness is symmetrical, affecting both the left and right sides of your body. Symptoms: Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia),mild joint or muscle tenderness, fatigue. Polymyositis belongs to a group of conditions called inflammatory myopathies. Myopathies are diseases or abnormal conditions of the striated muscles that cover your skeleton. The cause of most inflammatory myopathies is unknown. Infections caused by bacteria, parasites or viruses can cause inflammatory myopathies, but in most cases, doctors aren't able to identify a preceding infection in polymyositis. A disease similar to polymyositis is dermatomyositis. Dermatomyositis leads to many of the same symptoms as polymyositis, but it causes skin inflammation or a rash as well. Other inflammatory muscle diseases include inclusion body myositis, which progresses more slowly than other forms; myositis associated with other connective tissue diseases, such as lupus or scleroderma; and myositis associated with cancer (malignancy). Doctors suspect that myopathies are autoimmune disorders, in which your body's immune system mistakes normal components of your body for foreign substances and attacks them. If you have polymyositis, an unknown cause seems to trigger your immune system to begin producing autoimmune antibodies (also called autoantibodies) that may damage healthy body tissues. Many people with polymyositis show a detectable level of autoantibodies in their blood. It's still unclear, however, whether these autoantibodies are indeed involved in causing polymyositis. Polymyositis has also been associated with several viral diseases, including HIV. Some researchers speculate that, in some form, polymyositis may be caused by a viral infection of the muscle. This theory isn't well supported, however. If the muscles in your esophagus are affected, you may have problems swallowing (dysphagia), which in turn may cause weight loss and malnutrition. Dysphagia may also lead to entrance of food or liquids, including saliva, into your lungs (aspiration), which can result in pneumonia. If your chest muscles are involved, you may experience breathing problems, such as shortness of breath. Deposits of calcium in your muscles, skin and connective tissues (calcinosis) can occur late in the disease, particularly if you've had the disease for a long time. Polymyositis is often associated with other conditions, including: - Other connective tissue diseases. Diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma and Sjogren's syndrome can occur in combination with polymyositis. - Cardiovascular disease. The muscle of your heart may become inflamed (myocarditis). In a small number of people who have polymyositis, congestive heart failure and heart arrhythmias may develop. - Lung disease. A condition called interstitial lung disease may occur with polymyositis. Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of disorders that cause inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of lung tissue, making lungs stiff and inelastic. Signs and symptoms include a dry cough and shortness of breath. In the late stage of lung disease, high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary hypertension) can occur and can lead to right-sided heart failure. - Cancer. Cancer may be more common in people with polymyositis, but the evidence for this association is more pronounced in dermatomyositis. Pregnancy may worsen signs and symptoms in women whose disease is active. Active polymyositis can also increase the risk of premature birth or stillbirth. If the disease is in remission, the risk isn't as great. People with polymyositis or dermatomyositis may also be at an increased risk of infections, particularly respiratory and digestive infections. As a result, your doctor may monitor your signs and symptoms for any indication of infection so that you can receive prompt diagnosis and treatment. Although there's no cure for polymyositis, treatment can improve your muscle strength and function. Treatment begun early in the disease process tends to be more effective, often because there are fewer complications.... Coping skills Living with a chronic autoimmune disease can make you wonder at times whether you're up to the challenge. Though it isn't always easy, you're tougher than you think. To help you cope, try supplementing your medical care with the following suggestions: - Know your illness. Read all you can about polymyositis and other muscle and autoimmune disorders. Attend lectures and talk to people who have a similar condition. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor any questions concerning your illness, diagnosis or treatment plan. - Be a part of your medical team. Consider yourself a member of your medical team in the fight against your disease. Following the treatment plan you agreed to is vital. Keep your doctor updated on any new signs or symptoms you may experience. Regularly perform the physical exercises prescribed for you. - Rest before you get tired. Don't wait until you're exhausted to rest. This will only set you back further as your body tries to recuperate. Learning to pace yourself can help you maintain a consistent level of energy, accomplish just as much and feel better emotionally. Learn to say no effectively and ask for help when you need it. - Save your energy by using power appliances, such as battery-operated toothbrushes, electric can openers and power screwdrivers. - Accept your emotions. Denial, anger and frustration are normal feelings when you must deal with an illness. Things don't seem normal or fair and likely seem out of your control. Feelings of fear and isolation are common, so stay close to your family and friends. Try to maintain your daily routine as best you can and don't neglect doing those things you enjoy. Many people find support groups to be a helpful resource. Reference - Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER). Pranic Healing: 1.
