Myositis

Hi again Mooks,

My myositis problems are painful but, above all, it's an intense feeling of weakness and that weakness comes on when I try and use my muscles - for example if I try and hold my arms above my head or when trying to get up from chairs, climb stairs etc.

It's extremely difficult to describe as there is pain but, as I say, I think the weakness is the main feeling.

I also get a bruised type pain in my muscles but that seems to occur more from active disease activity and I decribe it more as "inflammation" - whether it is due to lupus or myositis I don't know.

Sorry, I can't help more,
Katharine

I get the same thing.....When I touch my upper arm, thigh, back of shoulder I feel as if I were bruised. :worried: (thats just pressing it with one finger) I always try to think....did I bump into something and dont remember....Even if I have an itch, I will scratch it then still feel a bruising pain minutes after.
Is this what Fibro feels like?
Do post after your appt.
