Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Which myositis do you have?

I believe with the right medication and treatment this disease can be brought under control so you quality of life can be improved .

It must be so awful for you right now.

It’s very important that you see a Myositis specialist Dr because this disease is so rare.

Hope you feel better soon .
