AB Myopathies  can  occur  in  the  setting  of  a  variety  of  systemic  diseases.  Previous  chapters  have  discussed  inflammatory  myopathies  that  can  occur  in  the  setting  of  connective  tissue  diseases  (e.g.,  systemic  lupus  erythematosus,  mixed  connective  tissue  disease,  Sjögren  syndrome,  and  rheumatoid  arthritis)  and  systemic  infections  (e.g.,  HIV).  Myopathies  occurring  as  complications  of  medications  (toxic  myopathies)  are  also  dealt  with  elsewhere  in  the  book.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  focus  on  myopathies  related  to  endocrine  disturbances,  electrolyte  imbalance,  nutritional  deficiency,  and  amyloidosis.  We  also  discuss  some  other  less  well-defined  syndromes  such  as  fibromyalgia.
