Most autoimmune diseases are complex, multifaceted conditions that have no simple solutions. In addition to the symptoms of dermatomyositis, polymyositis, necrotizing myopathy, inclusion body myositis, or juvenile myositis, each myositis patient may experience other symptoms that don’t appear to be part of the disease itself.
These are some of the complications that may occur together with or because of myositis:
- Antisynthetase syndrome
- Calcinosis
- Cancer-associated myositis
- Cardiovascular disease
- Dysphagia
- Infection
- Interstitial lung disease (ILD)
- Overlapping autoimmune diseases
- Rhabdomyolysis
