Polymyositis

[MammyFoost]

I'm currently going through the very long drawn out process of diagnosis. Spent over a year telling my drs somethings not right. Had soooo many blood tests and scans. Elevated white bloods and liver enzymes...fatigue, aches and pains beyond painful.
Trying to find out if polymyositis makes you have short menstral cycles? Mine used to be 6 to 7 days and now it's 2 -3 I've also been told I have pelvic congestion..which vascular swelling is also another symptom of PM. ANY ADVICE WELCOME XXXXX

How old are you ? Peri menopause messes with your cycles.

I'm 38. Had tests for early menopause, thyroids and all came back clear.

Hi where do you have swelling, and what tests diagnosis this disease.

Arms, shoulders, chest, abdominal (also have pelvic congestion, vascular swelling) hips, thighs lower back and upper (between the shoulder blades)
So far bloods and ultrasound is the only tests done. Got a positive for autoimmune, positve c135, elevated white blood count and elevated LFT. Got another set of bloods booked for Fri, ck and bone etc

Good luck , hope you get some answers
