A member asked:
What are the pros and cons of traditional and naturopathic treatments for polymyositis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big difference: Polymyositis is a hyperallergic inflammation of the muscles with rapid wasting and debility. It responds well to systemic steroids and some other support pharmaceuticals. Naturopathy has nothing to offer for this condition. You need to see a rheumatologist as soon as possible to prevent serious complications.
