Being diagnosed with Lupus and then being told I have Dermamoyositis has really changed the way I live my life...I wasn't sure what it was I had or how I got it...
I was ready to live with Lupus...I have a couple of friends that have it so I knew alittle about it but I knew nothing about dermamoyositis...
I took grandma Gloria to the Dr in Faribault and while we were there...the nurse, Dr and I was started talking about DM...when the Dr heard what I had he asked me "why"...I wasn't sure what he meant...I didn't know why I got it...it is rare...
Later I learned that you could get it because of trauma or cancer...after a lot of tests...they didn't find any cancer but because of DM they continue to test my blood counts for cancer...I have a higher risk of getting it...

My continued search for information...
The Link Between Lupus And Myositis
Lupus causes chronic inflammation in the body. While lupus can create a feeling of overall fatigue, myositis occurs when the inflammation specifically targets the muscles. While this condition typically does not cause any pain, it leads to muscle weakness...
Another great day!
