Myositis means generalized muscle inflammation. When it is throughout
the body the term polymyositis is used. Please see:

I've been on prednisone and methotrexate for limited scleroderma, and my
RD added Cellcept when polymyositis showed up. I'm a littlt stronger,
and have hardly any pain now. It's really alarming when you can't get up
off the toilet without help!
