Is anyone currently receiving treatment for IBM? If so what treatment? Having been recently diagnosed I just wanted to see how others manage IBM. Thanks

Currently there are no medical treatments for IBM, but there are ongoing trials and you are more likely to be included in future trials if you see a specialist in IBM (see links below).

I am very hopeful that we are finally nearing the time when treatments are available. Exercise is advised particularly because not all muscles are effected by the disease.
