Myositis is such a strange and devastating disease. It affects people of different ages, areas of the body and at different speeds. I have found the members of this group to be very helpful in offering their advice to the physical problems that myositis causes. In return, I too have been able to give advice in many areas I am familiar with. I love this group. Many are like family to me. I am so glad I found this safe haven to call my home away from home.
