Polymyositis & Dermatomyositis Support Group
Polymyositis (PM) is a type of chronic inflammation of the muscles (inflammatory myopathy) related to dermatomyositis and inclusion body myositis. The inflammation is predominantly of the endomysium in polymyositis, whereas dermatomyositis is characterized by primarily perimysial inflammation.
Be thankful that we have a resource where we can discuss myositis and what each of us really experiences.
I try to give what i know but not in a told you so way. But not everyone can do that. It is the first time i have seen anything like that in my two years here. Give us more time... We are a great group...

Stacerek we do not want to lose you. Stay on board with us please... and... thankyou. We need each other so much.
This is a public website. People will have different opinions on various subjects. Everyone has an opinion from their own point of view. I know with DM/PM we do not feel well. There is some vulnerability to get upset when a healthy person thinks differently on an issue. We can only guard our own feelings at any time. We must be able to agree to disagree with some viewpoints.
Myositis makes us all stronger. I hope you will stay. I enjoy talking with you and the wonderful people on this site.
