Myositis group member, Larry M., shows us how he “Inspector Gadgets” his way through myositis.

Meet Larry M., living with Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM)
Larry says, “I was diagnosed with IBM in December of 2019 but have been living with it for 10-12 years. I’ve always exercised and tried to maintain a level of fitness and IBM has made that difficult in many ways but I have tried to adapt things to help me continue doing so. In 2013 I ran a half marathon, and today 100 yards would be nice. But I continue to do all I can via weights and a Stationary bike. The doctor who diagnosed me said that I’m still as functional as I am because of what I’ve done in the past and to never stop doing what has worked for me.”
