I did read all about Polymyositis etc many many articles.  I am just worried why glands swollen Now salty taste in mouth, Thick white mucus and tongue feels like it is burned. Pain right kidney. Really hard to get upstairs. Twitching.  many times in morning Hurt my right femur just by turning and falling all the time if not using walker Must watch feet and ground to walk. I have seen Neurologist, Rheumatologist, Orthopedic, EENT, Endocrinologist and GP. They are not talking to each other Plus their is something wrong they all say. My symptoms maybe Sjogrens EENT Dr says
