I'm sorry it's taken you so long to reach a correct diagnosis, it's no wonder your struggling.

I'm afraid not many use the web based Myositis group, many moved over to facebook. Several years ago I set up a UK only group that now has over 3000 members & is very active.

Here's a link for The Myositis Community of Great Britain & Ireland facebook.com/groups/themyos...

Kind regards,

Jo - Myositis UK Trustee
