    Thank you for an honest and insightful discussion. This disease, in it's many manifestations, truly is life changing when diagnosed and is ever evolving. I was diagnosed in 1998 and thankfully had a very astute dermatologist who was able to make the diagnosis quickly. I've "failed" many of the medications but do have a couple that keep me up and moving albeit with many symptoms that I just live with. It's made me live knowing each day is a gift and I try hard not to let it define me as the disease. Bonita, thank you for your story and candidness. You are an inspiration and your help with Myositis and Understanding is truly treasured.

  • @heatherr1141
    @heatherr1141 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I definitely can agree with that muscle testing in office. They say I’m not weak yet I Get tested where they take the time in Physical Therapy and can wean down to my weakness which doesn’t always show in the tests in dr office. Plus my home nurse for my infusion has seen just how sick I am more than my dr too. A lot of times drs don’t believe us and say we are not weak when we know how it feels but because they push our arm and knee they decide we are not. That is not right and there has to be a better way or have drs believe patients. I’m not sure but there is a lot to be said and work needed on that. I love the idea of using technology today to make it more patient centered. Sorry brain fog and I can’t access the words of want to say. I have Dermatomyositis. That is one symptom I didn’t hear but I know many of us patients have and it makes it hard to communicate with drs or anyone sometimes. I believe that a lot of it is the fatigue and from that causes brain fatigue, muscle fatigue, all over just full system fatigue. It is so hard like BAnita said to know day to day how we are going to feel and whether I can manage or not. My disease is so complex and a total roller coaster. I can be so good one minute that you wouldn’t know I have anything wrong to the next minute falling over and bed ridden. It can change so quickly. It makes me feel like drs think it is one way or another and when they ask us questions our answers can very for every symptom depending on so much. So it’s hard to explain this. We can say yes I get nauseous when this happens but sometimes i don’t. My symptoms are so crazy and all over the place that I feel crazy saying it. An answer to a question can be yes and no all In one. I agree about drs needing more education for diagnosis. I was sick for 15plus years dr after dr with so many weird symptoms. Because I didn’t have a positive ANA about 10 years ago the Rheumatologist that my family dr try to get me in would not even see me. So I didn’t have to suffer as long if they were more knowledgeable. Dermatomyositis doesn’t have to have a positive ANA. Anyway I’m glad your talking about this because this disease it so complex. My drs still haven’t even talking to each other. I am hopeful that I can one day get a good team. One that also lets me be a part of it. That is Is very important. I’m the one that has to live this life and my opinion matters. After all, I’m being seen to hopefully get what I consider a better quality of life. So right now I’m waiting to be treated and flaring because my bloods all got too low and my Rheumatologist needs a hematologist opinion before she can treat me anymore. I have to wait to see them before we can do anything else. I am off my DM med except for subq IG now. Rheumatologist doesn’t know what to do when immune suppression medicine is causing it to be low or it is something else. DM can actually cause the low counts itself and need more immune suppression to help it. Yet it is lowered or stopped because there is no way to know if it is caused from the immune suppression or the disease itself. I have a lot to say about all this. I believe these systemic diseases need to have a lot of different specialists involved and need specific training in Myositis and the specialty. So we need more drs to train in how Myositis affects each category and full body. I don’t know if that make sense but I tried. Myositis is not just a rheumatologic disease. It can affect every part of the body. I too believe I need checked for gastroparesis. The sad thing is most of the time the doctor where I'm from anyways don't even recognize these problems patients can have and if I didn’t learn my condition and pay attention to my symptoms and advocate for myself and question what could be happening, it seems I would not have any diagnosis and I would have died and believe I was close. It is sad that I went to dr after dr and only when I started really paying close attention and researching myself is when I started finding answers. I see a lot of people that this is not the case and there drs are on it. I think it definitely is different from area to area and dr to dr.

    They give us free "high tech" vaccine, but not free basic health care. Now after vaccine, they force you to pay for health insurance that makes you pay for seeing your primary care doctors. these people, so smart. It's better to make selling health insurance or giving free government health care illegal. This way, in order to sell anything these pharma would have to lower their prices, or at least give us the exact value of their service before we opt for it. So Smart.

    Hello, I am trying to find information on Myositis unrelated to auto immune diseases. I have found that this can occur but no matter how I search for more information, only Myositis as autoimmune disease comes up. Are you able to direct me to a source on this? I’ve been completely inactive due to fibromyalgia for a few years. I started, very slowly, building up a walking routine to a few blocks most days and within a couple of months had diffuse, bilateral lower leg muscle fatigue/pain that resulted in discontinuation of this activity. I could not go on. So far, there is no relation to my knees or ankles. I go to PT hoping to resolve it. I appreciate any response you can give. Thank you!

    triggers are stress , and chemical s and statins ! I also think antibiotics , and ironically steroids too . I also know there is a link between ingesting Alfalfa and the auto immune disease Lupus , which has many similar symptoms as Dermatomyositis. Smoking I would say has a lot to do with the fact that cigarettes have formaldehyde in them ! Formaldehyde makes many people ill , but is still used in building materials , making many homes toxic . I have MCS . I cant live in a home with outgassing of formaldehyde . We need to stop using it in glues , pressed board , carpeting , insulation materials . And there are really many chemicals related to cancers and auto immune disease. I got DM after having my tonsils removed .
