Polymyositis (PM) is a type of chronic inflammation of the muscles (inflammatory myopathy) related to dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis. The inflammation is predominantly of the endomysium in polymyositis, whereas dermatomyositis is characterized by primarily perimysial inflammation.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Also have trouble changing positions. think it's from overall muscle weakness, especially the "core" area. Can't do a sit up either.
I also have a hard time rolling over and the only thing I can tell you is to take your time and eventually it gets a little easier (not much). You need to find what works for you, what makes it easier for you, when trying to roll over. Your core muscles are weak and untl you get stronger this will continue to be a problem.
