You may have recently heard the word "myositis" for the first time or you may have been living with a diagnosis of myositis for many years. Either way, by learning as much as you can about the disease and the kinds of information and support available, you will know what to expect and will be able to make well-informed choices about your day-to-day living.

In addition to the information provided about the treatment of myositis, TMA offers practical suggestions for everyday life:

• What you should know if you're newly diagnosed
• Resources for children and families
• Resources for patients living with myositis
• Resources for caregivers
