    Hi tiggers; I think it is very important that you talk to your GP, as there is another condition that can sometimes occur along with Polymyalgia (many muscle pains), and known as Giant Cell Arterites...........this is an inflammation of the arteries near the eye/s (is this where you are getting the sharp pains?).......it is wise to see GP and be reassured that this is not happening to you............good luck.............Bron
