Many think that stress causes the aches and other symptoms of autoimmune diseases, of which polymyalgia is one. One cannot always protect themselves from stressful events, people and situations, but you can take steps to relieve the stress once it occurs. Yoga, pilates, walking and deep breathing, meditation and so on help a lot.
