  • Title: [Polymyalgia rheumatica--fibromyalgia-syndrome: symptoms, syndromes or diseases?].
    Author: Wermelinger F.
    Journal: Ther Umsch; 2006 Mar; 63(3):195-200. PubMed ID: 16613290.
    Abstract:
    Polymyalgia rheumatica and Fibromyalgia are probably not distinct clinical entities. Rather polymyalgia rheumatica is the common denomiator of a large spectrum of different diseases. The historical separation between Polymyalgia rheumatica and Giant-Cell Arteritis is no more clinically applicable in most cases. A better clinical approach is to view them as extrems of a continuum. Similarly, fibromyalgia is one manifestation of chronic pain syndromes of undetermined etiology. In addition, fibromyalgia can often not be delineated clearely from functional disorders, including depression.
