As well as inflammation of the joints, the palms of the hands may become reddened, muscle aches, nausea, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, weight loss, chest pain, bruising, mouth sores, hair loss, seizures, and extreme tiredness may set in and a fever might occur.

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a rheumatic disease characterized by aching and morning stiffness in the shoulder, hips, neck, and torso that rarely occurs in individuals under the age of 50. Symptoms usually affect both sides of the body equally, but asymmetrical pain or stiffness can occur. Some patients also complain of malaise, fatigue, appetite loss, weight loss, and fever. It is a relatively common disorder. Among Caucasians over age 50 about 7 out of 1000 people are affected.
