Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in details.
The condition polymyositis is inflammatory weakness of muscle groups in the body. It can make daily activities difficult for the patient. Physiotherapy and medications can decrease your problems but there is no complete cure for this condition.
Problems to look out for are the following
Difficulty swallowing
Aspiration pneumonia
Difficulty swallowing
Calcium deposition in muscles
Associated connective tissue diseases, heart and lung diseases must also be taken care for.
The main treatment of your condition involves physiotherapy, speech therapy, diet changes if you have swallowing problems and medications like steroids and immunosuppressants.
You must take regular rest when you feel tired.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
