I have polymyalgia rheumatica and have had for a couple of years. Until recently I was taking infusions that helped with the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and polymyalgia rheumatica. I developed kidney infection that was septic and 2 weeks later, a uti infection that was septic so I have discontinued infusions. When I initially had polymyalgia rheumatica I took prednisone and had panic attacks while in bed at night. I stopped taking and although the symptoms have come back, I do not want to take prednisone again. I will just have to tough it out.
