No matter how shocking it is to find out you have myositis, life goes on. There are bills to pay, meals to cook, daily life to plan and live. The Myositis Association’s members say that figuring out how to meet the practical and logistical challenges of living with myositis gives them a sense of empowerment.<\/p>\n
