Polymyalgia rheumatica usually resolves by itself, even when not treated, in 1 to 4 years. Symptoms diminish greatly with treatment. Most patients need steroid treatment for one or more years.

Yesterday after coming back from the college library a friend of mine gave me the link to arthritis resources http://arthritis.glaix.com

If you find something about specific use of Nonsteroid Anti-Inflamatory Drug usage like Meloxicam, or interested in data exchange, please send the email to hyovis@yahoo.com.

With regards,
Helen
