COLUMBIA, Md., April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- May is National Myositis Awareness Month! At The Myositis Association, this time in May is observed to empower patients and care partners as well as educate the community about this rare disease.
Individuals living with myositis can experience severe muscle pain and weakness, difficulty moving and standing, chronic disability, debilitating skin rashes, and other symptoms. It is common for myositis patients to wait more than three-and- a-half years and see five doctors before receiving a correct diagnosis. During this time, patients often develop complications that can be life threatening.
This May, through the "A Call to Action" theme, The Myositis Association will empower its patients to tell their stories, become advocates on their own healthcare journey, learn strategies to create increased community awareness, become successful fundraisers, leverage the power of volunteerism, and become more involved in legislative advocacy.
