What are some symptoms of myocytosis?


Question:
What are some of the more commonly seen symptoms of myocytosis? I have been experiencing muscle spasms and muscle cramps.

Answers:
All forms of myositis involve inflammation that develops within muscle tissues, most commonly the hips or shoulders. Rarely, muscle inflammation occurs in a single part of the body, such as one arm, one leg or just musclesthat move the eye. The muscle inflammationalmost always causes weakness. Sometimes warmth, swelling and pain of the muscles can occur.
The most common form of myositis ispolymyositis (poly means many). Muscle inflammation develops in both arms and legs.The form of myositis called dermatomyositis(dermato means skin) is associated with askin rash. This rash usually is found over the knuckles in the hands and around the eyes. However, in some people, rashes occur onother parts of the body.

Oh, those pesky nematodes. problem(serious problem) in roses, tomatoes, etc and also in humans..The incubation period is usually about 20 days but can be up to 47 days. Infection in man is usually self-limiting but can result in fatalities. The main symptom is severe headache but other symptoms include convulsions, vomiting, facial paralyses, parasthesia, neck stiffness and fever. It is accompanied by moderate eosinophilia in the CSF i.e. the cell count is 100 – 2000/mm3. Blood eosinophilia is also common. Eye involvement is accompanied by visual impairment, ocular pain, keratitis and retinal oedema. Living worms have been reported and are removed surgically.
One person already talked about the muscle tissue. One thing to consider is that myocytosis can be a complication of a staph infection or seen in patients with heart failure
