Thanks for your post. I too, had 6 BCG treatments and as a result was diagnosed with reactive arthritis which was then diagnosed as Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I have since started on gem/doce maintenance and prednisone for the autoimmune disease. BCG is not for everyone.

Thank you for your comment. I find it very interesting. I have my annual PCP checkup in 3 weeks and I was going to talk to him about a new symptom that I have not mentioned in my previous posts (thinking that group members would think that I had lost my mind). Aside from the continued pelvic pain (from the reactive arthritis), for the past few weeks, I have had difficulty getting up and down, in and out of the car (due to pain in the back of my thighs) and of all things......sitting! If I sit for more than 15-20 minutes, my butt is extremely sore. Although my symptoms are not a full match for Polymyalgia Rheumatica's numerous symptoms, mine are a partial match. I don't like to jump to any conclusions but I wouldn't mind being tested for this same autoimmune condition. P.S., I like your username.
