Hi I am new here.

After 5 years of being very ill and having to give up work I am finally with some Drs who are listening. Slowly getting diagnosis. Was diagnosed with connective tissue disease last summer. Now I am being tested for myotisis. After reading about the condition symtoms certainly fit.

Anyone have any information that would be useful on this long journey?

Thank you in advance.
