I have had Polymyositis since I was 13 years old. I am now 43 years old. I to was wondering what the life expectancy of a person with this disease is. I suffer with pain on a regular basis especially when the humidity is high. I find activity and healthy eating makes a big difference with this disease. However, some days are unbearable. Just wondering if there is anyone else who has had Polymyocitis at such a young age?
I am 31, I was diagnosed with polymyositis when I was 21. My doctors consider me a rare case because we have many medications and nothing seems to stabilize this disease. I to experience pain and extreme discomfort day to day. I have days where I need my wheel chair just to get around. Day to day functions are difficult because of muscle atrophy throughout my entire body."God Bless"
MY SISTER HAS THIS DISEASE SHE HAD NO PAIN HAS HAD IT SINCE 2008 WALKS SLOW, SHE IS 80 YEARS OLD how long does she have? dollykyle
