Myalgias
by xugal2000, Jul 31, 2009 07:06PM
I began having diffuse myalgias last year. Being that I have had two bouts with Hodgkin's lymphoma, I went to the doctor. The Hodgkin's was back in my mediastinum although in stage I. The assumption was that the cancer was producing cytokines causing my myalgia. The myalgia went away when I started chemotherapy. About a month after finishing chemo and verifying that the cancer was gone, the myalgias returned. My doctor's were stumped. They sent me to a rheumatologist who comfired that my ANA & RF were negative but my CRP & ESR are quite high. He is also stumped. I was put on a prednisone taper for another issue and the myalgias went away until I was off of the prednisione for about a month. I'm now on neurontin which reduces the pain but after several hours the myalgia returns. PET scans confirm that I have no tumors. Can anyone help me figure out what I have and how to treat it without long term steroid or NSAID use?
