Hi I'm newly diagnosed - I was told dermatoyositis but the notes say polymyositis with likely antisynthetase syndrome (so who knows, but I'm still having lots of tests). It has caused some lung disease. Can I ask what dose of prednisone you are on and are your symptoms controlled with your meds? They tapered me down to 10mg but I think they will end up increasing it or adding something like Athioprine.
