Myositis Patient and Caregiver Support
Introducing the Myositis Support Community!
Join the Myositis Support Community
Free, anonymous, 24/7 support, just for the myositis community
Myositis patients and caregivers can connect with others who understand what they are going through by joining our support community via the Inspire iOS app or by visiting our Myositis Support Community.
Now there is another way to connect with others who live with and care for those with the various forms of myositis.
Introducing the Myositis Support Community, an online support community in partnership with Inspire.
The Myositis Support Community is similar to Facebook, however, it provides a more safe and secure environment for the sensitive topics we discuss as people living with, and caring for those with, myositis (idiopathic inflammatory myopathies).
During registration, you can even choose an anonymous username to help protect your identity further! You have control over your personal information and how it is shared. Patients, caregivers, and professionals will be able to collaborate, share stories and discuss questions and concerns. And the best part – it’s totally FREE to you.
