    It is amazing how the lives of our families and even our friends are affected by our Myositis and related autoimmune diseases. Some do not know what to say or do or how to act so they may not “act concerned” when inside, they truly are.

    This article is excellent for those people. We want them to know that they can talk to us about our weakness, fatigue and our pain, emotional and physical. Living with Myositis, at times, can seem like the end of the world, and with the support and love of family and friends, it does make it easier. WE love you for all you do!!! Happy Caregivers Month!
